Seal of Biliteracy

Are you a parent or caregiver of a senior who speaks a language other than English? If yes, please consider having your student register to assess for the Seal of Biliteracy. If they meet the requirements, they earn a medal at graduation and an official seal from the state of Maryland recognizing them as officially bilingual and biliterate.

Senior Portraits - October 2nd

The first step of your senior year is your senior portrait session. This experience is designed to be more elevated than prior school pictures for a reason. Senior portraits celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime season, and we want every student, now a soon-to-be senior, to feel seen and celebrated.

You are able to take your senior portrait at school on October 2nd from 2:45 to 6:00 p.m. Please schedule your appointment using the link below.
