St. Stephen's High School - Bradshaw, MD - was part of a k-12 parish school started in 1931. Bradshaw is 3 miles NE of Kingsville, MD and about 5 miles south of Bel Air, MD. It was part of the Baltimore Archdiocese educational system.
The school moved into a frame building once the Church was finished. The first graduating class was in 1936. It remained the High School until its close in 1964, when Archbishop John Carroll High Schoolopened in Bel Air, MD.
St. Stephen's High School was set in a country picture postcard setting. The building was located in front of a wooded area. The brick convent to the west of the high school and the elementary school another brick building to the east. These buildings were located on a hill overlooking a country grave yard and the Church down at the road side.
The high school did not have fancy or modern equipment; however, it had the most important quality for an education. The staff were high dedicated caring individuals whose sole purpose in life was the nurturing and deveopment of character driven, inquiring intellectual development, of the youth in their care. These teachers took the raw material of the young people and nurtured them to strive to achieve the maximum heights of their potential while remaining grounded and sensitive to the needs of their fellow man. The school motto was "fiat voluntas tua" ["Thy will be done"]. Students were taught the essence of being a positive influence in the world, understanding that each of us has a responsibility to make the world a better place for having been here.
Most of the teachers were from the sisters of the Order of St. Francis (OSF) and a few lay teachers for health and physical education. Students attended St. Stephens from many other parishes via school bus. Routes covered: Aberdeen, Bel Air, Bradshaw, Eastpoint, Kingsville, Middle River, Overlea, Rosedale,
