Why Parent Outreach?

The Watkins Mill High School Parent Outreach Committee hopes to share vital information about MCPS and WMHS that will help parents in essence navigate the system in various ways. We think the idea of communication being a two way process between Watkins Mill High School and you, our prized families is critical for improving student achievment at our school.  The Watkins Mill High School Parent Outreach committee provides Parent Resource Workshops 2 to 4 times during the year either at our school or in various key places in our community.

We welcome you to come out and get valuable information to use as you support your child
at Watkins Mill High School. 

We also welcome the opportunity for parents to serve as presenters and helpers as we develop our topics to share each year. 

Career Center

The Career Center, located next to the Counseling Office, is open to students before school, during lunch and after school without a pass.  Students should stop in and see what the Center has to offer.  Students may:

  • perform a college search
  •  read through college catalogues
  •  get scholarship and financial aid information
  •  research career options, and check out the job board. 

Most importantly, students can look in the College Recruiter Visit binder to see which colleges, tech schools or military recruiters will be visiting. 

The Career Center Newsletter is published monthly and is available on the school website and in the Career Center.  Inside these monthly  issues, students and parents  will find information concerning the college admissions process and career planning including college testing information and dates, scholarships, financial aid, College Fairs, college recruiter visits, Open Houses and other items of interest.

You and your students are encouraged to read this newsletter monthly and to stop by the Career Center to explore the wealth of information that is available to help students plan for their post-secondary experiences.
