Peter Boyko, a junior at Northwest High School and Anuva Maloo, a junior at Montgomery Blair High School are the finalists for the 48th Student Member of the Board of Education (SMOB). Elections will be held on Wednesday, April 23.

Dozens of MCPS students showed off their skills and expertise at a SkillsUSA regional competition held at Thomas Edison High School of Technology on Feb. 13. All had advanced from their local competitions, and the winners are moving on to compete at the state level in March. MCPS placed first, second and third in nine of the 10 competitions. 

Montgomery County Board of Education voted unanimously to tentatively adopt MCPS’ Operating Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. This budget, Superintendent Thomas W. Taylor's first for the district, aims to address existing challenges, bolster essential school support and prioritize a return to academic excellence through multi-year corrective measures.
