About Us

Maryland High School belongs to the Roman Catholic Church and is under the proprietor of our Bishop responsible for the diocese, who actually has assigned the SNJM Congregation to fully exercise the authority through its own specific members independently.

BACKGROUND

This School was established in 1987 with the purpose of catering for the many Primary School leaving graduates who fail to obtain passes to guarantee them a place in Secondary Schools. It was felt that many talents would get lost through inability to get a place in the already established Secondary schools. It became evident that unless something was done to alleviate the situation, many Basotho youths would end up loitering in the streets. This would lead to crime increase in the country. This realization spelled serious trouble for the nation. Thus, the need to do something, the need to be of service to the country was engendered. This was also in keeping with the policy of the government in that the children would get much need education; while on the other hand, crime rate in the country would be much reduced. It is, therefore, our wish to continue to pursue this noble endeavour and help build the nation.
