St. Mary’s health officer announces departure after 14 years

In her 14 years as health officer for the St. Mary’s County Health Department, Dr. Meena Brewster experienced a lot of firsts. From addressing the COVID-19 pandemic to building the Healthy St. Mary’s Partnership and school-based health centers, Brewster said her focus always came back to serving the community and improving access to health and wellness resources. “I really wanted an opportunity to be on the front lines and to have direct impact and to really get to know the people that we’re serving and build those partnerships that are so key,” she said. Early next month, Brewster will be leaving the role, and while she has yet to announce her next position, she is looking forward to starting the next chapter of her public health career. “Fourteen years is a long time for any person’s life, and St. Mary’s has certainly been such a significant component of my life,” she said. “I feel really good about what we’ve built together as a community and as a health department team and our partnerships.” While public health focuses on responding to a community’s needs, the COVID-19 pandemic posed unique challenges for Brewster and other county leaders. “We really pulled together as

New Northern Middle opens in Calvert County

Calvert public schools’ Superintendent Marcus Newsome noted it had been 22 months since his predecessor and other school and community leaders did the traditional moving of dirt with golden shovels. And now the new Northern Middle School has opened for learning. The project, which was slowed by weather and challenges in obtaining building materials, cost nearly $60 million, which was a combination of state and county funds. The three-story, 109,237-square-foot building, co-located with Northern High on Chaneyville Road in Owings, can accommodate 800 students. With its current enrollment at 715 there’s room for more, although it’s still Calvert County’s most populous middle school. “It takes every department in the school system to make this happen,” the superintendent said during his monthly report to the Calvert County school board Nov. 5. In a matter of hours, the new building went from being a storage site for unopened boxes and bare shelves into a new school. Newsome credited school staff, assisted by honor students from Northern High, with the move from the old school to the new building. “It’s looking amazing,” Ruth Ollie Reist, a Northern High junior and current student member of the board, said of the new facility.
