ABOUT US
Welcome to St. Mary’s County Public Schools (SMCPS) where over 94% of our students graduate ready to take on the challenges of college or careers. With almost 18,000 students, our school system is large enough to offer a wide variety of academic programs and services, yet small enough to maintain an atmosphere of friendliness, helpfulness, and personalized service.
Our Commitment to our Students
At the center of all the work of SMCPS are our students. They enter our schools as toddlers and leave as young adults – and we are responsible for their preparation for adulthood – to succeed and contribute meaningfully to their community. Our Students are Our Future – and when we fully grasp this, commitment to action and excellence must define our work.
Our Commitment to our Staff
Schools that are well maintained, thoughtfully updated, and accommodating to all students and their learning demonstrate our commitment to giving our students the best we can offer – in our classrooms, gymnasiums, theaters, and playing fields.
Our Commitment to our Stakeholders
A public school system serves its community and does so by engaging and involving the adults who have a vested interest in the success of our students. Our stakeholders are our parents and guardians, our business leaders, our elected officials, our partners in higher education.
Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
St. Mary’s County Public Schools’s “Equity Matters” platform highlights celebrations in Educational Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Achievement in all of our school communities while providing resources and support for promoting excellence and equity for students, families, and communities.
Our students. Our future.
St. Mary’s County Public Schools recognizes that the talent and commitment of our employees are our most valuable assets. The quality of your application and evidence of a strong work ethic are critical considerations. Evidence of effective professional practice is weighted heavily in the review of applications for administrative and certificated or licensed positions.
