Brianna Ross

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

Maryland’s schools, students, and communities benefit from a variety of productive and supportive partnerships that are maintained by the Maryland State Department of Education with the private sector and community organizations. Through advocacy and generous underwriting, our partners enable the implementation of a variety of education initiatives. These include recognition programs honoring outstanding educators, administrators, and schools.

Original song Treasures of the Night offers hope during COVID-19 Pandemic: The striking sunset you see is paired with an original song composed and sung by Maryland State Department of Education's Dr. Darla Strouse with photos arranged by Somerset County Teacher of the Year Christy South. The song and video, inspired by the COVID-19 Pandemic, speak to the hope and beauty that lie ahead.
