Continuing the Great Education Tradition of Howard County By Paulette Lutz

ne of the major considerations Ofor families moving to Howard County is the outstanding education system that flourishes in public and private schools throughout the county. Our schools have always been ranked “exceptional” scholastically and in extra- curricular activities. This has always been the case for Howard County and Ellicott City. According to the Baltimore American newspaper dated September 28, 1919, “Ellicott City was the center of education for the whole country. More young men Above: The Patapsco Female Institute and young women were trained within Right: Rock Hill College its bound than within any similar area in tute, situated on land given primarily by the nation’s bounds.” the Ellicotts, opened for girls aged 12 to 18 This tradition began with the years.
