In Week 1, Quince Orchard proved that they belong with the best of the best in Virginia by thrashing a very good South County team 33-0.

Can they give QO a challenge?

Seven Clarksburg High School students, along with their teacher, Shannon McKenzie, the MCPS 2023 Teacher of the Year, participated in the 2023 Educators Rising national conference in Orlando.
Educators Rising, a state and national student organization, prepares students who are interested in careers in education. The Clarksburg students joined more than 2,000 students and teachers from around the country to compete in events to showcase critical thinking, problem-solving and leadership skills.
Twenty-two MCPS rising 11th and 12th grade students completed a four-day residential pre-college experience at Towson University (TU). Using Maryland Leads grant funding, MCPS partnered with Towson to offer the TU Teacher Scholars Summer Institute.
High school students were led through learning activities to inspire them to consider careers in education. Students toured campus, participated in team-building experiences, and connected with students from 13 MCPS high schools and others from Howard County Public Schools. They earned one dual-enrollment credit and a stipend for their participation. Ninety percent of the students indicated they are highly likely to pursue teaching as a career.
