  • Cartoon eagle standing with wings wings folded Welcome to the Richard Henry Lee Elementary School homepage. Our school is located in the heart of old Glen Burnie, Maryland. One of 79 Elementary Schools in Anne Arundel County, Richard Henry Lee has been serving the Glen Burnie community since 1929.

    With a current enrollment of 540, we remain committed to meeting the needs of all students. To that end, Anne Arundel County Public Schools and Richard Henry Lee have established goals in the areas of Academic Achievement, Safe and Supportive Learning Environment, and Community Engagement. These goals are designed to meet the specific needs of our students. Please take a moment to view our school academic performance results. Our test results can be found by accessing the following link to the Maryland State Department of Education Website.


    Richard Henry Lee is an Early Childhood Professional Development School (PDS). This is a collaborative effort with Towson University and unites our school with student interns nearing completion of their teaching degrees. This mutually beneficial relationship effectively reduces the student/teacher ratio for several of our classes while providing real world experience for our interns.

    We are very excited about the instructional programs offered at our school and the accomplishments of our students. I look forward to the opportunity to personally welcome you to Richard Henry Lee.

    Thank you for visiting our website!
