Dear High School Students:
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is committed to ensuring that every student graduates from high school prepared for college and career success. Our high schools offer a wide variety of classes and programs designed to prepare you for the future challenges of college and the workplace. This 2025-2026 High School Course Bulletin presents the extensive range of exciting courses and programs offered in MCPS. Please use the information in the bulletin as you take the opportunity to discuss the academic and career paths you want to explore with your parents/guardians, teachers, and counselor. Counselors are available to help advise students during the scheduling process to ensure they have the courses they need to graduate and support them in the college/career process. These conversations will guide you as you select courses to plan a learning experience that will challenge and engage you. For additional information about the high school curriculum, please visit https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/highschool/.
Each high school’s website may be accessed at ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/ and can be another helpful resource in addition to the information in this bulletin. The information presented on these sites provides an overview of each school, including detailed descriptions of application and career readiness programs of study offered in MCPS.
MCPS is fortunate to have highly competent and dedicated teachers, principals, school counselors, and support staff at our high schools. Preparing you for your future as a productive citizen in a global society is a responsibility we take seriously. We invite you to commit yourself to your studies with the same zeal and enthusiasm.
I urge you to enroll in challenging and rigorous courses in pursuit of your personal goals and extend my best wishes for your success as you prepare for the exciting and rewarding experiences ahead.
Sincerely,
Thomas W. Taylor, Ed.D M.B.A
