Homecoming

The Homecoming Dance was a success. Our students looked amazing! While many wore traditional homecoming attire, man of them took the "Night at the Disco" theme seriously and wore bell bottoms, wide leg pants, 70's style shirts and jumpsuits. It was great fun to see them all having dancing and enjoying themselves.

As families begin planning for life after high school, paying for college can feel overwhelming—but there are more opportunities than ever to make college affordable. Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS), in partnership with the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), is bringing college and financial aid information directly to families through CCBC Nights at BCPS schools and regional FAFSA events.

Whether your student is a senior preparing for college, a junior beginning to explore options, or simply a family looking for ways to reduce the cost of higher education, these events are designed to help you understand your options and take the next step.

These events will provide families with an opportunity to receive personalized assistance with the FAFSA and learn more about financial aid options.

Bring your questions—and, when appropriate, the information needed to complete the FAFSA—and let us help you take the next step.

If your child was absent or needs a make-up picture for another reason, please mark November 18 on your calendar.

Students who are late to school because weather impacted their arrival are tardy to school. Weather related delays are not excused. Please be aware of the weather forecast and plan to leave earlier on impacted days.

If your child wants a yearbook, they must order by February 19, 2027. We do not order extra yearbooks. The only guaranteed way to ensure your child has one is to order. I stress this because we have disappointed students each year, and I always hope to avoid that.
