In Catonsville MD, there is a little, quite school that everyone knows and loves called Mount de Sales. It is an all girls high school that was established in 1852 and has much charm and beauty. Mount de Sales is an important place because of its wonderful history, and the connection it brings to people today.
Mount de Sales is an extremely beautiful place. You walk up the old cobblestone driveway and into the 158 year old building that just makes you feel like home the second you walk in. From the classic, natural structure to the fireplace in the library, Mount de Sales is definitely a homey place to be.
It was originally a boarding school that housed girls and nuns. It owned much of the land in the surrounding neighborhood, and contributed much to the neighborhood until they had to sell most of the land. In the 1930's, they stopped using it as a boarding school, but just as a regular high school. The Dominican sisters from Nashville eventually took over Mount de Sales and have been running it ever since.
I attended high school at Mount de Sales, and it was the best experience I could have hoped for. Mount de Sales is known for its sisterhood and deep bonding between all of the people who are a part of it. The school is one big family where everybody knows everybody and you get a strong personal connection with the students, teachers, families, and alums of years prior.
