• Six new principals serving in Catholic schools in Archdiocese of Washington (cathstan.org) — A new principal in Laurel's St. Mary of the Mills School brings deep experience from Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Resurrection St. Paul schools in Ellicott City, continuing a strong local Catholic education pipeline. The Archdiocese of Washington also announced five other new principals across Rockville, Bethesda, Beltsville, Solomons, and Washington, highlighting their backgrounds in teaching, ministry, and community leadership.
• Advocates double down on efforts to improve Howard County's rental ecosystem (bizmonthly.com) — Howard County advocates are pushing for stronger tenant protections, including a new Office of Tenant and Landlord Affairs and clearer renter rights. An Ellicott City resident running for county executive questions how "affordable" housing is defined, while officials and nonprofits discuss vacancy rates, junk fees, and better enforcement to stabilize rental options that affect residents' health and financial security.
