McDonogh School is an independent, coeducational, non-denominational college preparatory school in Owings Mills, Maryland. It serves about 1,450 students from prekindergarten through grade 12. The Lower School covers PK-4, the Middle School covers grades 5-8 and the Upper School covers grades 9-12. The school opened on November 21, 1873, when 21 poor boys from Baltimore arrived on campus. It carries the name of John McDonogh, whose estate funded it. For most of its first century, it was a military, boarding and farm school for boys. The semi-military program ended in 1971, and the first girls enrolled in 1975. The 800-acre campus includes Roots Farm, a 10-acre campus farm. About 75 Upper School students join the five-day boarding program and go home on weekends.
