Field Day 2026: One of our favorite traditions! Our graduating seniors get the chance to soak their principal with our adapted dunk tank to celebrate the end of an unforgettable year. 💦🎓

More Field Dayto come, but first, we had to share one of the highlights of the event! We ended the day with a staff costume relay race for the students, and it did not disappoint. There were lots of smiles, plenty of laughs, and even a photo finish to crown the champions! 🏁

🏅 TRYathlon 2026 🏅
Today’s the day! After months of hard work, our students are ready to shine. We’re so proud of everything they’ve accomplished leading up to this moment—now it’s time to celebrate their effort and cheer them on! 💪✨ @CaraGrant11 @ThomasTaylorEdD

Every year, our TRYathlon is made possible through the incredible generosity of fellow MCPS schools who lend us their trikes—and this year is no exception! With nearly 30 trikes available, we’re able to create an unforgettable experience for our students.
