MCPS Climate Survey
Our Minority Scholars Program (MSP) Represented at this Weekend's Retreat!
Last Saturday, our Minority Scholars Program (MSP) students and staff sponsors, Ms. Lett and Mr. Booker, attended the MSP Retreat at John F. Kennedy High School. This year's theme was, "Start a New Chapter! Rewrite the Narrative!" Students spent the day moving through workshops to both explore the theme and collective identify ways in which they can bring this work back to the school.
Bravissimo to our Frozen, Jr. Cast, Crew and Directors!
This year's musical was nothing short of amazing! Our cast and crew worked incredibly hard to give three outstanding performances. With record breaking audience attendance, the performances did not disappoint. Audience members laughed and cried along with each performance. Bravissimo to our student performers and directors!
