Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. Throughout the month, MCPS schools will be celebrating the unique culture and traditions of students, teachers, staff and community members who trace their roots to Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries in North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean.

Hispanics and Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group in MCPS, with 34 percent of the student population. MCPS resources to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month are available here. 

We want all MCPS students, parents and staff to celebrate with us! Share a picture that represents your heritage and MCPS may feature it in a virtual gallery. Email pictures to pio@mcpsmd.org.
