Our Location
Mount Airy Elementary School is located in the southwest corner of Carroll County, Maryland, in the quaint town of Mount Airy. The town is shared by both Carroll and Frederick counties. It borders Frederick, Howard, and Montgomery counties and is in close proximity to Interstate 70, making the cities of Washington and Baltimore easily accessible.
Our Building
Built and occupied in 1935, Mount Airy Elementary School has had rooms and additions added through the years. In the mid-80's, the school received major renovations that are reflected in its current appearance both inside and out. The school maintains the charm of its history and incorporates modern technology to enhance the learning environment, including a natural gas-fired heating system, school-wide air conditioning, and Internet access from the classrooms and computer lab.
