The Patriot Way

Old Mill Middle North students and staff will make a pledge and commitment to our school and its mission. In doing so, Patriot's will follow the following code of behavior:

  • Be on time

  • Be Prepared

  • Be Polite

  • Work Hard

Students who follow these guidelines are awarded with “Patriot Passports” which can be “spent” in a variety of ways. Each Wednesday during lunch, there is a “cart-o-fun” in the cafeteria where students can purchase needed school supplies. In addition, there are monthly events where students can “purchase” a ticket with their passports. 

Old Mill Middle School North is one of three schools located in the Old Mill Educational Complex in Millersville, Maryland. The complex, opened in 1976, also houses Old Mill Senior High School. Located on 60 acres of land in northern Anne Arundel County, the two schools share an auditorium and main lobby. Old Mill services three area elementary schools. Our enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year is approximately 975 students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. The school is one of six in Anne Arundel County which are fully authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme.

Centrally located near Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Annapolis, Old Mill is ideally situated for the valuable opportunities open to its students in business, industry, and higher education. As the community surrounding the school has developed over the years, the Old Mill complex has grown accordingly into the largest educational complex in Anne Arundel County.

The surrounding communities serviced by the Old Mill Educational Complex are very diverse. Housing types include apartment complexes, some of which receive federal funding, farms, town house developments, and single-family homes ranging in value from $400,000 to $1,000,000. Approximately 90% of our students receive bus transportation, some from as far as eight miles away.
