Welcome to Saint Mary's County Public Schools
Welcome to St. Mary's County Public Schools (SMCPS). With approximately 16,892 students,
our school system is large enough to offer a wide variety of academic programs and
services, and small enough to maintain an atmosphere of friendliness, helpfulness,
and personalized service. As a school system, we are focused on student achievement
and assuring that our students meet rigorous standards; at SMCPS all children can and will learn.
Our goal is to focus our efforts to create a total community committed to learning
and safety for ALL children. By "Working Hard and Being Nice," we have
an opportunity to provide an optimal teaching and learning environment that is second
to none. We look forward to working with you as we "Chart a Course to Excellence."

Close to 300 school system stakeholders, including community and business leaders,
parents, and school-based staff, turned out for the recent State of St. Mary's County
Public Schools' Luncheon and Address sponsored by the St. Mary's County Chamber
of Commerce. This event gives Dr. Michael J. Martirano, superintendent of schools, the opportunity to report on the progress made by the school system over the last
year, and discuss plans to deal with current challenges. His speech can be found
online by clicking the link "Superintendent" found at the top of this page. Pictured
above, Molly Tracy, a STEM student at Great Mills High School, ask attendees to
continue to support the STEM program which produced STEM-literate employees for
the local and global workforce.
