St. Vincent Pallotti High School, usually called Pallotti, is a private school in eastern Laurel, Maryland. It was founded by the Pallottines in 1921 and is within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
Pallotti is a co-ed school serving young men and women from Prince George's County, Howard County, Anne Arundel County, and Montgomery County. The school is currently attended by approximately 500 students. The school is noted for its MIAA Lacrosse championship victory at Johns Hopkins in 2006 and its Varsity Girls Soccer IAAM "A" conference championship victory in 2007. The Varsity Girls Swim Team has most recently won the IAAM C conference championship for two consecutive school years (2014–2015 and 2015–2016). Pallotti is home to the 2014 Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association C Conference Football Champions and the 2016 MIAA B conference football champions. The basketball team won the B conference championship in 2014 and is currently looking to rise in the A conference. The wrestling team became back-to-back champions in the B conference for the 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 school years. The 2016 girls cross country team finished as runner ups in the C conference. The 2016 girls soccer team finished as IAAM C conference finalists, as well as the boys JV team.
On July 9, 1911, Father Joseph A. Myer came to St. Mary of the Mills parish in Laurel. In 1913, he started a parochial school for the children of the parish, and asked the Sisters of Mercy to staff it. Father Myer purchased a colonial mansion known as the Tiffany Estate in October 1917. The mansion, which was the home of the manager of the Laurel Mills, was located just north of the present high school gymnasium. A remnant of the original circular driveway can still be seen. The mansion was modified by the addition of a frame wing to the south side of the main structure, in order to accommodate a convent, school and boarding rooms for girls. The school drew pupils from a wide geographic area. In 1920 Father Myer purchased additional land close to the Academy with the intention of opening a high school in September 1921. He applied for additional Sisters of Mercy, but they were unable to supply the desired number of teachers. Thus, the Sisters of Mercy withdrew from Laurel in 1921. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Chestnut Hill Pennsylvania staffed the elementary and high school from 1921 to 1934.
