SIX COUNTY SCHOOLS EARN NATIONAL AWARDS OF MERIT FROM MAGNET SCHOOLS OF AMERICA

​

Led by Meade High School’s Top Magnet School of Excellence Honor, six county schools have earned national awards of merit from Magnet Schools of America, the national association for magnet and theme-based schools.

​

Meade, which hosts one of three International Baccalaureate high school programs in Anne Arundel County Public Schools, is the only one in Maryland and one of about six dozen across the nation to earn MSA’s top honor. Glen Burnie High School, which hosts the county’s lone Biomedical Allied Health magnet program, earned a Magnet School of Excellence award.

​

Four schools – Annapolis and Broadneck high schools, Wiley H. Bates Middle School, and the Center of Applied Technology South – earned Magnet School of Distinction honors. Annapolis, Broadneck and Wiley H. Bates each host portions of the Apex Arts Magnet Program.

CAT-South earned the award for its “Turning Passions into Professions” theme.

Schools will formally receive their awards at MSA’s National Conference in April.
