High School Choice

As an 8th grade student, you/your student can apply to a variety of specialized regional programs at different MCPS high schools in our North Central cluster. Gaithersburg High School (GHS) is our home school with great programs, but there are also other programs throughout central north that may interest your student. These programs are interest (lottery) & criteria-based. If interested, students apply for high school choice programs beginning of your 8th grade year. Please reach out to Mrs. Meaghan Castro, our AEIST (Meaghan_Castro@mcpsmd.org) or Mr. Freddy Climaco , 8th grade counselor Freddy_Climaco@mcpsmd.org), any questions. The MCPS website is also a place to find many resources about the process, how to apply on ParentVUE, & the essay questions for the criteria based programs. Please join us October 14th at 6:30pm in FOMS’ cafeteria for more information about the programs available & to ask any questions you may have!
