St. Mary’s County Public Schools Redistricting & Facility Planning

St. Mary’s County Public Schools is launching a comprehensive Facility Utilization and School Boundary Study initiative to guide how our schools serve students and families in the years ahead.

With a commitment to student success, equity, and responsible stewardship of public resources, SMCPS is working with professional planning partners to review current school boundaries, assess our facilities, and engage the community in thoughtful, transparent dialogue.

As our county continues to grow and change—from rural neighborhoods to town centers—this process is an opportunity to address key challenges like overcrowding, aging buildings, and enrollment shifts. Most importantly, it’s a chance to ensure that every student learns in a safe, well-resourced, and inspiring environment.

This work will affect all of us—students, families, educators, and community members. Your input matters. Whether you join a meeting, offer feedback, or follow along with updates, your voice will help shape the future of education in St. Mary’s County.
