Dundalk, Maryland 21222Background: The celebration is part of Dr. Lowery’s “Tour of Excellence” to Blue Ribbon Schools across Maryland. Along with Chadwick Elementary School, which celebrated its Blue Ribbon designation on June 3, Charlesmont was one of two Baltimore County schools selected by the state as 2013 Maryland Blue Ribbon Schools. Six schools in the state received the 2013 distinction, and Baltimore County is the only county to boast two schools with the award. Each year, the Maryland State Department of Education selects Blue Ribbon schools based on a variety of criteria, including leadership, teaching environment, curriculum and instruction and indicators of success such as student and school performance assessments. Nineteen Baltimore County Public Schools have been named Maryland Blue Ribbon Schools since 1994, of which 14 were later designated national Blue Ribbon Schools.
