St. Mary’s is unique in that its location in Laurel (northern Prince George’s County) makes it convenient to, and therefore able to serve, Prince George’s County but also Howard, Montgomery, and Anne Arundel Counties. We presently have students from all four counties attending with the largest numbers coming from Prince George’s and Howard Counties.

“The perfect school does not exist. But St. Mary’s is more than just a school, it’s a community. And in this world riddled with chaos, stress and strife, a community of faith and warmth is a critically important foundation in these young kid’s life. And in ours. St. Mary’s school undoubtedly prepares the mind, but by God’s grace, it prepares the soul as well.”

“My parents’ decision to send me to St. Mary of the Mills School enabled me to receive a quality education in all subjects and daily religious instruction. I know my parents have found great comfort in knowing that making the decision for me to have educational foundation begin at St.Mary’s was the absolute right decision. I am confident it could be the right decision for you as well.”

“I chose St. Mary of the Mils School for my three boys’ education because of its great academic performance, it’s Catholic faith centered focus and the dedication and commitment of both its teachers and staff to bring out the best in my boys. I have not been disappointed! My children have grown spiritually, matured into respectful boys and armed themselves well with knowledge because of the wonderful education system already in place at St. Mary’s. I had made the right decision!”

“St. Mary’s School has become an extension of our family. Parental involvement is encouraged in many of our activities like the “Help the Homeless” walk, School Musicals, the Maryland MESA challenges, Home and School Association (our PTA), Teacher Appreciation lunches, as well as other events. Students at St. Mary’s and other Catholic Schools have the opportunity to hear the Good News as they set the foundation for how they will live the rest of their life.”

“My son was an 8th grader when St.Mary’s implemented distance learning. The way the school’s leadership team and staff prepared our student for distance learning was so impressive. First, they ensured that he had all of his materials and books needed for continued learning as well as the ability to connect to Google Classroom. I must commend the teachers for attempting to create some type of normalcy given the circumstances. While my son missed engaging with his friends and teachers as usual, his education didn’t miss a beat!”

“We did not know what the plan for the new school year was going to be, but we were coming back no matter what! We knew our child was going to continue to learn at St. Mary’s because of the awesome teachers.”
