Future Utilization of Tome Hill School

FOR the purpose of requesting the Maryland Council for
Higher Education to conduct a feasibility study to
determine the possible future utilization of the
Tome Hill School facility located in Cecil County as
a site for possible future post—secondary
educational programs for northeastern Maryland.

The Tome Hill School is situated on a 60 acre site
and contains many buildings including 5 classroom and
residence buildings and is adjacent to 80 acres of
recreational and athletic areas.

The site has always been used as an educational
institution, first as a private school prior to 1942 and
more recently as a preparatory school for the United
States Naval Academy.

This underutilized facility lies within close

The property is neighboring the Donaldson Brown

Maryland and could economically be used as a public
education center; now, therefore, be it further

this Body requests the Maryland Council for Higher
Education to conduct a feasibility study to determine the
future use of the Tome Hill School facility for
educational programs in the area; and be it
