About Our School

Highland View is growing. Projections indicate enrollment at Highland View Elementary School will exceed capacity by four classrooms or more by the end of the six-year period. An FY 2010 appropriation was approved for facility planning to determine the feasibility, scope, and cost for a classroom addition. A date for the addition will be considered in a future CIP. Relocatable classrooms will be utilized until additional capacity can be added.
A team consisting of staff, parents, community members, members of MCPS Division of Construction and members of the MCPS Department of Facilities Management attended several meetings this spring with architects from Proffitt and Associates to discuss the scope and impact of the project, as well as options for the addition.
