Today we're celebrating our own! While we've recognized student achievements all year, we're now shining the spotlight on the graduates of our staff members. Congratulations to the Class of 2026 and their families on this incredible milestone! We are proud of your success!
The Division of Student and Family Support Programs and Project UP‑START joined the 2025–2026 College Care Suitcase Initiative to celebrate 70 incredible seniors who overcame housing challenges and are officially college‑bound! 🌟
Every year, I am deeply inspired by this initiative. Special thanks to @MDCPS’s @ProjectUPSTART and our donors for “The College Care Suitcase.” These essentials give our college-bound students the confidence to thrive and remind them that their stories matter. #YourBestChoiceMDCPS
