This is PP 02/04 15:48 with a ninth grade PHS Humanities student. PHS is a wonderful school and highly ranked. So far I've been impressed with the quality, creativity, and rigor of the Humanities program. I hope interested students and families take the time to look at the PHS website to learn more about the Humanities program.

The link below has the Humanities program's most recent open house video recording and slide show presentation from this past fall (for the 2022-23 school year).

Scroll down the page to under &quot;Magnet 2021-2022 Admissions Information&quot; to the linked files &quot;Humanities Ninth Grade Class Information&quot; and &quot;Humanities Certificate Overview&quot; -- these files detail the required courses by year as well as the Humanities elective credit offerings for junior and senior years. [Note on the Certificate Overview, it appears the row entry for Science was left off(!) even though MCPS requires three credits to graduate.]

[b]Very Informative ==&gt; [/b]Further down the page under &quot;Events&quot; is a welcome video to this year's ninth grade Humanities students from current Humanities students and it gives helpful insight into the PHS Humanities student experience. Finally, this year's ninth grade welcome night video is linked in the Google doc under &quot;Information&quot; further below and gives an in-depth description of the Humanities program.

For the PP who asked about field trips, here are some of the trips taken in past years. Also the ninth graders plan and host a Gallery Night at the school where they each showcase an art piece they've created -- I was so glad they were able to host in person earlier this year. Some of the students also performed music during that evening. It was lovely.

9th Grade - Glenstone Museum in Potomac, National Gallery of Art, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, American Visionary Art Museum 
10th Grade - Montpelier, Monticello, The Blackfriar Theater
11th Grade - National Museum of African Art, National Museum of Asian Art, National Museum of Women in the Arts
12th Grade - New York City trip

And required Humanities AP classes:

9th Grade - AP Government
10th Grade - AP US History, AP Seminar
11th Grade - AP Language and Composition, AP Modern World History, AP Art History
12th Grade - AP Literature and Composition, AP Research
