This year, Leonardtown High School, Great Mills High School and now Chopticon High School will be honoring the heroes and loved ones who lost their lives so tragically on 9/11/2001.  Each St. Mary’s County high school will be hosting an own “11 Laps to Remember” Walk and are asking for our community to come out and support this event.  The dates and times for each event are listed below:
