What Old Mill High School does

Old Mill High School is a public secondary education institution operated by Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS), located at 600 Patriot Lane in Millersville, Maryland. The school serves students in grades 9 through 12, drawing primarily from a defined geographic catchment area with lottery-based admission to specialty programs. Its core academic offering comprises three pillars: the International Baccalaureate (IB) World School program (Middle Years Programme for grades 9-10 and Diploma Programme for grades 11-12), the International Economics and Finance Signature Program offering dual-enrollment credits through Anne Arundel Community College (up to 18 college credits at no cost via the Early College Access Program), and the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) college-preparatory elective for students in the academic middle.

The school's technology stack is district-provided and non-proprietary, consisting of Naviance (college/career readiness), PowerSchool (student information system, grades, attendance), Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft 365, the AACPS Parent Portal, and Parchment for alumni e-transcript exchange. Student services include counseling, bell schedule management, and PBIS behavioral support. Extracurricular activity spans athletics (via oldmillathletics.com), Dance Company, theater, marching band, and over 70 student clubs.

The school's revenue model is effectively non-commercial. As a public school there is no tuition; the only fee-based revenue is an optional $20/year PTSA family membership and $8 per alumni transcript requested through Parchment. Operating funding flows from AACPS district and Maryland state/local public sources. The school is not privately owned, has no venture or private equity backing, and is governed by the AACPS school board. Customer segments include enrolled students (primary), parents/families (PTSA, Parent Portal), and community/alumni (donations, rewards programs with Giant, Safeway, Target, Lauer's, and Office Depot).
