LSM Class of 2022 Experiences
Education in
Southern Maryland
On December 2, 2021, the Leadership Southern Maryland (LSM) Class of 2022 participated in the fourth of nine educational sessions for the LSM Executive Program. This session’s topic was education in the region. LSM graduates Karen Smith Hupp (2015), Angela Walters Small (2016), and Amy Cricchi (2016) planned and facilitated the day.
The session was held at St. Charles High School in Waldorf, Maryland and began with remarks from Dr. David Steiner, executive director of Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy. This was followed by a panel discussion on the long-haul implications of COVID-19 on education. The class also had an opportunity to further explore pandemic learning during a question and answer session with high school students from both public and private schools in the tri-county area.
The latter part of the program session featured Southern Maryland leaders in education. Executive Program participants met with the superintendents from Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s counties as well as the presidents of College of Southern Maryland and St. Mary’s College of Maryland and the executive director of University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland. This allowed for discussion of critical topics including school funding, teacher retention, and how community members can better support education. The group rounded out their education session experience with a field trip to the James E. Richmond Science Center.
The class wrapped up the day with a networking event hosted by the LSM Alumni Association at Carrabba's Italian Grill in Waldorf, Maryland. Class participants were able to gather and reflect on the day's experiences and discuss ways to support education in the region.
