Student Spotlight - Lena

Lena plays travel flag football for P51 Flag Football on the girls 8u team. The first two tournaments of this season there hasn’t been enough girls and only teams signed up, so they have opted to play against the boy's teams. Lena is the only player on the team so far to score touchdowns in both tournaments! Lena and her teammates have been working so hard and have earned a lot of respect playing at this level! She has done all of this while also playing travel basketball AND keeping straight A’s. We are so proud of her and her determination to be great!



Keep up the great work, Lena!

Student Spotlight - Macie

Macie was picked to sing with another child at church. Macie loves to sing and this was her first time singing on stage!


Great job, Macie!

25-26 Teacher Requests - Window Closed

Please be reminded the window for teacher requests for the 24-25 school year has come to a close. Due to the extensive work needed to schedule such a large school, scheduling begins as soon as the parent request window closes so work is already underway!

Student Spotlight!

Potomack Eagles, we want to recognize you! We love to recognize academic achievements at school, but we know our students are accomplishing amazing things outside of school too! If your student has a notable achievement in sports, arts or other areas throughout the year, please fill out the form below. If you are unable to access the link, please e-mail Mrs. Steshoski with a brief description of the achievement and a photo. We will be spotlighting these achievements on our social media page throughout the year.
