The school was named after Thomas Stone, a political moderate best known for signing the Declaration of Independence. He was born in Charles County, MD, in 1743 and studied law in Annapolis.
In 1775, Stone was elected to the Continental Congress, where he served for four years. During this time, he helped draft the Articles of Confederation. In 1777, he became a Maryland State Senator.
Stone later served as chairman of the Congress of the Confederation in 1784 before returning to the state Senate. Around this time, his wife, Margaret Brown, the daughter of Dr. Gustavus Brown, became ill. Because of her illness, Stone declined to attend the Constitutional Convention. Margaret died in July 1787, and Thomas Stone died three months later in October 1787 in Alexandria, VA.
