Dear Towson High School Community,
Yesterday, we had the honor of celebrating the remarkable achievements of the Class of 2025 during our graduation ceremony. It was a joyous occasion filled with pride and excitement as we bid farewell to our graduating seniors and wished them success in their future endeavors.
As we now turn our focus towards planning for the upcoming school year, we value your input and invite you to complete this survey to share your feedback and suggestions. Your insights are crucial in helping us continue to improve and provide the best educational experience for our students to thrive, both academically and socially-emotionally.
In partnership,
Dr. Kim Culbertson

To celebrate the Class of 2025, BCPS has created a BCPS Flickr album for each high school Graduation. Graduation ceremonies can be viewed on YouTube.
BCPS invites students, families, and staff to submit their favorite 2025 high school commencement snapshots. Photos can be submitted by posting on social media using the hashtag #bcpsgrad or via email. To contribute a photo via email, individuals are asked to send the photo as a jpeg file (no larger than 4 MB) and email it to communications@bcps.org – including the school name. By submitting a photo, the sender agrees to its use by BCPS.
Parents or guardians of children receiving special education and related services are asked to complete a survey by Friday May 30. Your feedback will help guide efforts to improve special education and related services in your local school system. The Survey is anonymous so please do not write any personally identifiable information. Your voice can make a real difference for your student and many other students in Maryland.

Research has shown that attendance is a leading predictor of academic achievement and adult success. Students who find attending school important are more likely to attain goals like attending trade school, college, or getting a job. By showing up to school every day, students develop a positive work ethic and prepare for future success by developing healthy and productive habits.
Our attendance goals this year are for students to maintain at least a 94% attendance rate and to reduce chronic absenteeism. A student that misses 10% or more of school days in chronically absent. By missing just 2 days a month, a student will be chronically absent. Use the "Attendance Tracker" and "Parent Tips" below to support your student in maintaining satisfactory attendance. Additionally, we will send parents/guardians a "Weekly Attendance Report" each Friday afternoon so you can track your student's daily and period attendance.
Absent notes must be turned in within 5 days from the student returning to school. Please review the Towson High School 2024-2025 Operating Procedures document ("Attendance" section) for information on Absent notes, including how to submit them on FOCUS. Teachers are not required to provide makeup work for unexcused absences.
