Missions statement

"The goal of Faith Baptist School, as a ministry of Faith Baptist Church, is to help the family prepare their children to live a Christ-centered life."[2]

History

"Faith Baptist School opened its doors in 1983 with 17 students. Kindergarten through sixth grade were the first grades offered. The school's first administrator, Mark Jago, along with Mrs. Martha Wood, and Mrs. Kim Sterling made up the school's original faculty. Mr. Jago was responsible for choosing the Falcon as the school's mascot as well as the grey and maroon color scheme, the same characteristics our students take pride in today. In the school's second year its student population doubled. Each successive year following its inception, the school would add a new grade until it reached the full compliment it retains today."[3]

Historically, FBS students have participated in the community around them, such as local contests, Handbell and Choir Concerts, and other volunteer opportunities. In 2014 John Zockoll was recognized for his artwork in the "Geocache Dash and Bash" Art Contest.[4] A recent fourth grader placed first in the region for her essay in the Maryland Municipal League "If I Were Mayor" Essay Contest.[5]
