[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that want to see what was sent:

This year brings an important update. All Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) comprehensive high school graduation ceremonies will be hosted at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). This decision was made to provide every graduate and their family with:
A comfortable, indoor setting that is not dependent on the weather.
Ample parking and accessibility for guests.
Reduced costs—MCPS negotiated with UMBC on behalf of all high schools and is covering venue rental fees, which substantially lowers costs to schools and families.

MCPS decided to use a centralized venue to ensure consistency, equity, and a celebratory experience worthy of this milestone for every student across the county.
 
We also know that travel may be a concern for some families. MCPS will provide information in the coming months about transportation options and supports to make sure all students and families are able to attend.
 
Graduation is one of the most memorable events in a student’s life. Our school community is looking forward to celebrating the achievements of the Class of 2026 in a way that is meaningful, inclusive, and accessible for all.[/quote]

This is great to see! When I was a high schooler in MoCo, we had to sell candy to raise money to graduate at the Kennedy Center. To have the fees covered would have been so helpful.

DAR was pretty but really, really crowded when I was there for a Virginia school graduation. [/quote]
