The Student Emerging Leaders Program, a partnership
of the Montgomery County Public Schools
(MCPS) and the Montgomery County Business Roundtable
for Education (MCBRE), is designed to
nurture student interest in national, state, and local
government. (link to the MCBRE Congressional
Black Caucus program web site; link to the MCBRE
Congressional
Hispanic Caucus program web site)
Two selected sophomore students from each high school
participate in the Congressional Black Caucus Annual
Legislative Conference and the Congressional Hispanic
Caucus Annual Legislative Conference held in the fall
in Washington, D.C. Students are selected in the spring,
semester 2 before the fall program (rising sophomores).
Interested students need to speak with the administration
and/or counseling department at their school in the
early spring.

Semester I: Prior to participating in the fall conference,
students complete an information and
commitment form, and attend a preconference meeting
to receive up-to-date information. Students
must attend one of these meetings in order to participate.
Parents/guardians are welcome to attend
the preconference meeting.
After participating in the legislative conference, students
select and research a topic that was
discussed by congressional legislators and complete
a project. At a time to be determined by each
school, students will present their projects to an appropriate
audience.
Semester II: Students attend a reception with Congressman
Christopher Van Hollen and additional
event sponsors.
Please refer questions to Mrs. Karen Crawford, student
affairs coordinator, Department of Student
Services, at 301-670-1419 or via e-mail at Karen_L_Crawford@mcpsmd.org.
