We’re excited to share that we received a $2000 Spark Good local grant from our local Walmart! This grant will help provide our Pre-K and ECSE students with a free field trip to the farm! We are proud to spark good in our community! Thank you Mrs. Muir for coordinating this exciting opportunity! #SparkGood #BelongGrowSucceed

Board of Education Members

The Board of Education of Anne Arundel County will have further discussions about the six Phase 2 redistricting proposals currently under consideration at its next regular business meeting, scheduled for noon on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.

At the meeting, the Board will also:
• consider approval of a new middle school course – Integrated Computational Thinking – and three new high school courses – Forensic Science 2, Advanced Placement Cybersecurity, and Advanced Placement Business Education With Personal Finance.
• conduct the first of three readings on revisions to the Policy IIC, Graduation Requirements and the accompanying regulation. The revisions would reduce the number of credits needed for graduation from 26 to 22.5, still higher than the state minimum, by requiring fewer elective credits.

More details can be found on the AACPS news release page.
