Police say 18-year-old Norman Hardy and his 14-year-old cousin entered the school through a door that had been propped open.
Two teenagers were arrested Wednesday morning for trespassing at Old Mill High School, and at least one of the teens entered the school twice without permission, police and school officials said. Neither of the teens are students at Old Mill, but one was as recently as February. While police and school officials said the pair were just there to socialize, one of the teens was charged with weapons violations after three knives were found in a backpack. This comes after a student brought a loaded gun to Glen Burnie High School on April 2, and an unarmed trespasser made it into North County High School in February. According to accounts from both school officials and police, Old Mill staffers first encountered Norman Hardy, 18, of Baltimore …

Students who violate Anne Arundel County Public Schools' illegal substance policy leading up to the week of graduation will face penalties.
High school seniors who participate in celebrations with alcohol or other substances will face serious consequences, according to the school system. In a release from Anne Aruncel County Public Schools (AACPS), Superintendent Kevin Maxwell reminded high school seniors and their parents that the use or possession of alcohol and other illegal substances can cost students a chance to participate in prom, graduation and other ceremonies that conclude their high school careers. “I do not want to see what should be a great time in the life of graduating seniors marred by immature and unwise decisions,” Maxwell wrote in a letter to parents of soon-to-be graduates. “More importantly, I don’t want to see any of our students engage in behavior that…

Record-breaking running back Rob Chesson, a senior at Old Mill High, is among the two best players in the county.
Old Mill High School senior Rob Chesson will be among the two Anne Arundel County students honored at the 2011 Maryland All-State Football Banquet on Sunday afternoon. Chesson, along with Broadneck High School kicker Adam Greene, will attend the banquet in Glen Burnie to receive special recognition for their achievements, and will even get All-State jackets to commemorate the occasion. Chesson set a state record for rushing touchdowns in a season with 49 and scored on a two-point conversion to win the state championship game for Old Mill over Quince Orchard in December. On Feb. 1, he announced his intent to attend Towson University on a full athletic scholarship. The all-star banquet will be held 4 p.m. Sunday at Michael's Eighth Avenue in…

Here's an extended look at the hysteria and elation following Old Mill's last-minute victory over Quince Orchard.
The Old Mill Patriots are the 2011 Class 4A State Champions after they scored a last-second two-point conversion to beat Quince Orchard in overtime. Led by head coach Chad McCormick and star running back Rob Chesson, the boys in red and blue shined in one of the greatest high school sporting events I've ever witnessed. To further celebrate their victory, I've comprised an extended video package capturing the moments of jubilation and joy following the game-winning play that didn't make it into the original highlight video. Congratulations once again to Old Mill and their dedicated players and coaches!

Running back Rob Chesson scored seven touchdowns on 22 carries and racked up 306 yards, while breaking the school record for yards in a season and the state record for rushing touchdowns in a season.
The Old Mill Patriots are headed to the Maryland 4A State Finals on the back of their electric runner, Rob Chesson, and a stout defense that has allowed only 34 points in the playoffs. Against Catonsville High School, it was business as usual. Different opponent, same outcome. Chesson rolled up 306 yards rushing and scored all seven of Old Mill’s touchdowns as Catonsville fell behind early in the first quarter and never could keep pace, falling 49-20. The Patriots (13-0) held the Comets to season-lows in points and total rushing yards. Catonsville, who averaged 362 yards on the ground in its previous two playoff games, could only muster 171 yards on 35 carries Friday night. “Catonsville has a ton of speed and our kids showed a lot of …

Sounds like the inmates are running the prison, again. Our adult school board can only vote to spend more money, so we are going to install a student to help them. If you say school it deserves a blank check and no one considers from where the money will come, but then again the schools are doing such a fine job.
