CMITN567 / February 24, 2026

Last Thursday, I accompanied a team of staff and students on a visit to the middle school to begin preparing 8th graders for their transition to high school. We highlighted the academic and extracurricular opportunities available to them, and reflected on our college acceptance and graduation rates, successful clubs and athletic programs, and sustained commitment to community service.

Welcoming our incoming class reminded me of the excellence our school represents and the strength of the community that makes it possible. This Tuesday, we invite families to join us for our Tiger Tune Up Family Walk and observe our classrooms in action. We hope you will see firsthand the dedication of our teachers and staff and the collective effort that supports student success.

Last week, CMIT celebrated the 100th Day of School in a fun and unforgettable way — by welcoming “the elderly” into our halls!

Did anyone look familiar? That’s because many of our students went all out, transforming themselves with gray wigs, walkers, cardigans, glasses, and plenty of personality. The creativity and effort on display were truly impressive!

Six standout winners wowed us with their originality and dedication, and each received a cash prize for their outstanding costume.

Thank you to all the students and staff who participated and helped make our 100th Day celebration such a joyful and memorable success!

Our partnership with the United States Naval Academy continues to strengthen STEM excellence at CMIT North High School. On February 7, representatives from USNA visited our campus, providing our students with enriching, hands-on learning experiences and exposure to advanced STEM applications.

Then, on February 21, our teachers were honored to be invited to the United States Naval Academy, where they engaged in professional learning, explored innovative research, and collaborated with experts in engineering, science, and leadership development.

These meaningful exchanges ensure that both our students and educators continue to grow, innovate, and remain at the forefront of STEM education. Through this powerful partnership, we are building stronger teachers and preparing future-ready leaders.

We are excited to continue supporting our students through Saturday Academy Tutoring, offering academic assistance in a variety of subject areas. Students can receive support in Science (including focused MISA review), Mathematics at all levels, and AP classes. Whether they need extra practice, deeper understanding, or exam preparation, our goal is to strengthen skills and build confidence.

After a three-month pause, Saturday Academy is officially resuming, and we are ready to get back to work with our students.

A sign-up form will be sent every Thursday for that upcoming Saturday session. All students must complete the weekly sign-up in order to attend.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back—ready to learn, grow, and succeed.

Join us on February 25 for Advocacy Day as our students visit the State House to learn firsthand how government works and how citizens can make their voices heard.

The evening will include family-friendly games, small gifts, and light live music, creating a joyful and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

The Ethiopian Eritrean Student Association (EESA) is an association that celebrates the cultures of Ethiopians, Eritreans and the Habesha Community. Through performances from various regions in Ethiopia as well as Eritrea, our students celebrate their culture by performing traditional dances. They have performed for school wide held events such as Culture Fest & Black History Month for both CMIT North Elementary and High School. Join us next Friday to see EESA perform alongside ASA at the Black History Month Assembly at CMIT North High.

The IT Certification Program is currently in session every Saturday from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm and students are continuing to make steady progress across coding, cybersecurity, and data analytics pathways. Participants are advancing through their individual certification courses while building foundational technical skills in programming logic, automation, and data analysis. In addition to technical coursework, the program is now expanding its focus to include career readiness and post-secondary planning. Students will receive support with:

• Resume development tailored to technology careers

• Internship and job search guidance

• Exploration of college majors related to IT, cybersecurity, and data analytics

• Understanding how certifications connect to real-world career opportunities

  
  

The goal of the program is not only to help students earn certifications, but also to prepare them for internships, college pathways, and future careers in technology.

As we continue preparing for the 2026–2027 school year (SY27), CMIT North High School is moving ahead in planning for the addition of the Air Force JROTC program as an elective course option.

To ensure thoughtful scheduling and preparation, we are gathering interest from families of rising 9th and 10th grade students

What is Air Force JROTC?

The Aerospace Science course through Air Force JROTC focuses on:

• Leadership development

• Aerospace studies

• Citizenship and character education

• Teamwork and communication skills

• Personal responsibility and discipline

This elective class provides students with structured opportunities to grow as leaders while building skills that support success in high school and beyond.

Program Expectations

Students participating in JROTC should be prepared to:

• Maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA

• Wear the JROTC uniform at least once per week

• Participate in occasional activities outside the regular school day

Important Scheduling Note (Rising 9th Graders)

Students who select JROTC would opt out of the 9th Grade Academic Resource course.

While Academic Resource supports transition skills such as time management, GPA monitoring, and organization, JROTC students will develop many of these same leadership and life skills through the program’s structured curriculum and experiences.

Please note that once scheduled into JROTC, students may not be able to drop the course during the school year.

JROTC Interest Form: LINK. (The form must be completed by a parent or guardian.)

String Club & Jazz Band

On Friday, February 27, 2026, our String Club & Jazz Band will take the stage during lunch for a powerful and heartfelt performance in celebration of Love Month and Black History Month.

This is more than just a performance — it is a tribute. Through soulful jazz, expressive strings, and meaningful music rooted in history and culture, our students will honor the legacy, resilience, and artistic brilliance recognized during Black History Month, while also celebrating the spirit of love that brings our community together.

We are incredibly proud of their hard work and courage to share their talent. This will be a beautiful reminder of how music connects, uplifts, and inspires us all.

The Student-Led Architecture Club meets every Friday after school under the coaching and guidance of Ms. ____.

In partnership with the Architecture Club of USA, our students are exposed to real-world design thinking, professional insights, and innovative architectural concepts. Through this collaboration, they explore blueprint reading, structural planning, model construction, and sustainable design practices.

Students are not just building models — they are learning how to think like architects. They develop creativity, precision, collaboration, and problem-solving skills while gaining confidence in presenting and defending their ideas. It is inspiring to see our young designers grow as they turn imagination into structured vision.

By Faith Holden

The Robotics Club continues to be the heartbeat of innovation at our school and the strong foundation of Team Illusion, our FRC team. As they prepare for the FRC Rebuilt Competition on March 13–15, 2026 (Friday–Sunday), students are putting in countless hours of design, testing, and programming.

FRC is more than building robots — it builds resilience, leadership, and true teamwork. Under Team Illusion, students work with Python, FRC control systems, and advanced coding structures to program, troubleshoot, and optimize their robot’s performance. They integrate mechanical engineering with software development, learning real-world skills that go far beyond the classroom.

Most importantly, they compete with gracious professionalism — supporting one another, respecting competitors, and striving for excellence. In Team Illusion, every gear, every wire, and every line of code reflects dedication, collaboration, and the pursuit of innovation.

FORENSIC MOCK TRIAL

Our Health and Wellness Program meets every Saturday from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and is designed to promote the overall well-being of our students. Through guided physical activities, team-building exercises, and wellness discussions, we encourage students to build healthy habits, stay active, manage stress positively, and develop discipline and resilience. We believe strong minds and healthy bodies go hand in hand.

Please note: On Saturday, February 28, the Health and Wellness session will be held earlier, from 7:45 AM to 8:45 AM. A nice breakfast will be provided after the session to ensure students are energized and ready for the rest of the day.

Our Badminton Club meets every Saturday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM for practice at the Middle School Gym. Students build endurance, sharpen their skills, and develop teamwork through focused drills, match play, and strategy sessions.

An upcoming tournament is on the horizon, and sign-ups will open soon. Stay tuned for details and get ready to compete, improve, and represent with pride! 🏸

We are delighted to announce that Cloe Arnold, a Grade 9 student under the advisorship of Ms. de Guzman, Green School Club Advisor, has been named the Grand Prize Winner for “Nature’s Voice, Our Choice: Greening Prince George’s County Together.” Competing among over 300 entries, Cloe’s work stood out for its creativity, passion, and thoughtful message on environmental stewardship and community responsibility.

Her submission reflects not only artistic talent, but also a hopeful vision for a greener future in Prince George’s County. We extend our sincere appreciation to Ms. de Guzman for her guidance and mentorship in supporting student growth and leadership.

With the generous support of the Sierra Club of Prince George’s County, the Grand Prize Winner will receive a $100 cash award in recognition of this outstanding achievement.

Congratulations, Cloe, on this remarkable and well-earned honor!

We are proud to give a HUGE shoutout to our outstanding 9th graders — Madison White (Basketball-middle), McKenzie Reynolds (Cheerleading -right), and Camille Paulo (Soccer & Track - Left) — for earning Honor Roll in both Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 while actively competing in their respective sports!

This is an incredible accomplishment. Balancing the demands of academics and athletics requires strong time management, discipline, and perseverance. Maintaining Honor Roll status while practicing, competing, and representing our school is no small feat — and these young ladies continue to rise to the challenge with excellence.

We are so proud of your hard work, commitment, and determination.

Keep shining — both on the field and in the classroom!

GIRL RELAY TEAM

SEL Empowerment Night for High School Girls

Grades 9–12 | All PGCPS High Schools Welcome

Date: March 13, 2026

Time: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Location: Charles Herbert Flowers High School Auditorium

Attire: Jeans and T-shirt (no mid drift shirts or ripped jeans) Color: Pink everything!

Purpose

The Just 4 Girls event is designed to empower high school girls in grades 9–12 across PGCPS by strengthening key social-emotional learning skills, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and empathy. The event provides a safe, supportive space for students to address trauma, stress, and mental health through storytelling, mentorship, peer connection, and access to community resources. Its objective is to equip girls with practical strategies to manage emotions, build confidence, and develop positive relationships that support academic and personal success.

Scope

The event will focus on SEL development through panels, mentorship, and community engagement during a one-day, in-person experience. It will include student performances, a professional women’s panel, a student panel, a guest speaker, dinner, and access to wellness and mental health resources. The event does not provide clinical mental health treatment, counseling services, or individualized therapy, nor does it replace ongoing school-based or district mental health supports. Instead, it serves as a preventative and awareness-building initiative that connects students to existing resources and trusted adults.

Importance

This event directly supports PGCPS’s SEL objectives by addressing the growing mental health, trauma, and behavioral challenges impacting students, particularly adolescent girls, in the post-pandemic environment. By centering empathy, emotional regulation, and self-management, Just 4 Girls reinforces the district’s commitment to creating safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments. The event also elevates student voice, strengthens community partnerships, and promotes equitable access to SEL supports, contributing to improved student well-being, engagement, and long-term academic outcomes across the district.

On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, we will administer the SAT to all 11th grade students. Please note that we will operate on a modified bell schedule that day. Students with abbreviated schedules should carefully review their class times, as they will differ from the regular schedule.

• 9th & 10th Grade: MCAP Test Prep

• 12th Grade (AP Students): AP Test Prep

• All Other 12th Graders: Report to the gym until your class begins

Technology Reminder

All students must bring a fully charged Chromebook.

11th grade students must ensure their Chromebook is updated, as they will be using the College Board Bluebook app for the SAT. During the October PSAT administration, over 60 students were unable to test due to outdated devices. Unfortunately, as a charter school, we do not receive loaner Chromebooks from PGCPS and do not have extras available.

Room Assignments

All students will receive an email prior to March 4th with their SAT testing room number or Test Prep room number.

Snack Donations

Thank you to everyone who has donated snacks for testing and the Kickboard Treasure Chest. Snacks donated at this time will be provided to students taking the SAT on March 4th. Remaining snacks will be distributed to students taking MCAP and MISA in April and May.

As always, we continue to accept snack donations for service hours.
