MCPS invites families to join us for a series of in-person community engagement sessions focused on upcoming boundary studies and the secondary programs analysis. These conversations will help shape how students across the county access academic programs and schools in the years ahead. They are scheduled to be in-person sessions from 7-8 p.m. on:

  • Oct. 30: John F. Kennedy High School, 1901 Randolph Road, Silver Spring (Region 3)
  • Nov. 4: Watkins Mill High School, 10301 Apple Ridge Road, Gaithersburg (Region 5)
  • Nov. 10: Montgomery Blair High School, 51 University Blvd. East, Silver Spring (Region 1)
  • Nov. 13: Winston Churchill High School, 11300 Gainsborough Road, Potomac (Region 4)
  • Nov. 17: Paint Branch High School, 14121 Old Columbia Pike, Burtonsville (Region 2)
  • Nov. 18: Clarksburg High School, 22500 Wims Road, Clarksburg (Region 6)

The sessions will have Spanish interpretation, as well as American Sign Language (ASL) support. They will also be recorded and posted online.

Why this matters to you:
Families with students in Grades 6 and 7 will be among the first to experience the full impact of these changes. This is an important opportunity to learn, ask questions, and share your voice as we plan for the future together. The proposed model would allow MCPS students to pursue major academic pathways—whether in science, math and technology, humanities, medical science, world languages, leadership and public service, or visual and performing arts—at their home school or one of the high schools in their region, without spending hours on the bus every day.

In addition, don’t miss a virtual “Pregúntale a MCPS” live on Facebook for Spanish-speaking families at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5. Conducted entirely in Spanish, this session will focus on the boundary study options and new academic programs in secondary schools. MCPS staff will explain what these changes could mean for your child and your school.
