Who Is John Bailey

Howard County General Hospital in 1976

 

  • I am a native of Howard County; I was born at Howard County General Hospital in 1976, back when it was only one building and on top of a small hill.  I grew up in the North Laurel part of Howard County and graduated from Atholton High School in 1995.
  • I grew up attending the First Baptist Church of Laurel, and I currently attend Grace Community Church in Fulton.
  • Both my parents were public school teachers, so it is no wonder that I am now in my 8th year as a public school teacher.  I teach government to 10th graders and law to 11th and 12th graders. 
  • I graduated from Towson University with a B.S. in Political Science and a minor in Communications after spending one year at Howard Community College.  I received my M.A. in Education from UMBC.
  • Currently I am serving on the Hickory Ridge Village Board of Directors.
  • I have coached high school baseball and soccer, as well as ran the summer All-Star baseball tournament for the Howard County Youth Program (HCYP).
  • I have been married to my wife Kimberly for almost 5 years and together we have a daughter who will turn one in June.  My wife is a public school guidance counselor.
  • My roots in Howard County run deep, my mother graduated from Howard High School and I as well as my siblings grew up playing sports and going to summer camps right here in the community.
