The Board of Education of Calvert County Public Schools will break ground for the replacement Northern Middle School on January 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The celebration will begin in the cafeteria and continue outside at the site of the new construction.

"The groundbreaking for the replacement of Northern Middle School represents our commitment to providing state-of-the-art learning environments that inspire our students, support our educators, and enrich our community," said Dr. Andraé Townsel, Superintendent of Calvert County Public Schools. "This project reflects our dedication to academic excellence and sustainability, ensuring that future generations of learners thrive in an innovative and environmentally responsible facility."

The building was designed by Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates Architects and will be built by Keller CM. The new school will be constructed on-site, to the north of the existing building. Once the new building is complete, the existing school will be demolished to accommodate parking and vehicular drop off/pick up zones. The 109,237 square foot middle school will have a State Rated Capacity of 796, and will be certified through Green Globes, making it Calvert County Public Schools’ third green building.

The new building will be ready for the 2026-2027 school year with the final phase of construction expected to be complete in Spring 2027.
