About Springbrook

Springbrook's Mission Statement

Springbrook High School, with its mosaic of cultures, challenges students academically to recognize and appreciate their individual talents. Thus empowered, students become lifelong learners who are culturally inquisitive, technologically adept, and prepared to contribute to and thrive in an interdependent world.

Signature Program

Springbrook High School is an IB World and Information Technology school. 

As an IB World School we are one of eight high schools in Montgomery County, and the only high school in the Northeast Consortium of schools,  accredited to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme to eleventh and twelfth grade students, and one of three high schools, and the only high school in the Northeast Consortium of schools, in Montgomery County accredited to offer the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program to ninth and tenth grade students.  Students who complete the two year IB Diploma Programme are better equipped for future endeavors than are students participating in any other high school program.

Springbrook High School also offers programs to all students through our Academy of Information Technology (computer programming, computer network design and administration, web design, and microcomputer technologies).  Students in AOIT participate in paid internships their junior and senior years with such companies as FDA, NOAA, NASA, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.  Springbrook is the only high school in MCPS to program for the Xbox and Zune.  Pat Yongpradit, the recipient of the Microsoft Worldwide Innovative Educator Award in 2010, has been recognized for forming the Women in Technology Group, and using innovative practices at Springbrook.

Rounding out Springbrook’s Signature offerings is the Academy of Justice, Law and Society.  Students can start this program as freshmen or sophomores and pursue coursework to launch careers in law, law enforcement, and homeland security.

All of Springbrook’s Signature offerings, besides providing an excellent preparation for every student’s future, carry the potential for college credit and scholarship awards.
