During this two-week program, students will create works of art that incorporate the traditional art forms of drawing, painting, and sculpture, as well as computer arts.

Gabriella Chalker, a senior at Hereford High School and BCSC social media coordinator, presented the award and described Forman as “an advisor who has done so much for not only the students from her own school but for students from across Baltimore County. She even took a group of Baltimore County students to the National Student Council Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., this year! As a student who was able to go to this conference because of her, I am so thankful for her.” Chalker noted that Forman’s students describe her as having “terrific communication skills, a tireless work ethic, and a true dedication to the success of students and colleagues." Carl Nelson and Jerry D’s Catering received the Barbara Fuller Friend of BCSC Award. In presenting the award, Carter Bohart, a sophomore at Eastern Technical High School and the BCSC community outreach director, explained that BCSC selected Nelson and Jerry D’s for the honor because they were a huge part of the group’s efforts to be more environmentally friendly.

By the conclusion of this year’s competition, about 7,600 academic champions will have won National Merit Scholarships worth more than $30 million. More than 1.5 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program when they took the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. In September 2019, some 16,000 semifinalists were designated on a state representational basis in numbers proportional to each state’s percentage of the national total of graduating high school seniors. Semifinalists were the highest-scoring program entrants in each state and represented less than 1 percent of the nation’s seniors. To be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, semifinalists had to fulfill requirements to advance to finalist standing. Each semifinalist was asked to complete a detailed scholarship application, which included writing an essay and providing information about extracurricular activities, awards, and leadership positions. Semifinalists also had to have an outstanding academic record, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, and earn SAT® or ACT® scores that confirmed their qualifying test performance. From the semifinalist group, some 15,000 met finalist requirements. By the conclusion of this year’s competition, about 7,600 academic champions will have won National Merit Scholarships worth more than $30 million.

TOWSON, MD. – Throughout the 2019-20 school year, Baltimore County Public Schools has addressed various wellness and mental health topics through its student-initiated Mind Over Matters campaign. For June, known internationally as Pride Month, the campaign will focus on learning about and supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community using the theme Pride Matters.“We are proud to have members of the LGBTQ+ community among our students, teachers, staff, and parents,” said BCPS Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams. “This month is an opportunity for us to reinforce that all are welcome on our staff and in our schools, and to encourage the entire BCPS family to learn more about and to show support to those who identify as LGBTQ+.” Throughout the month, all are encouraged to read LGBTQ+-related books. Recommended books can be found on the following lists:

Those interested can seek additional book recommendations from BCPS library media specialists and Baltimore County Public Library librarians. Throughout the month, BCPS staff will have opportunities to participate in professional development activities on topics including teaching tolerance, supporting LGBTQ+ youth mental health, and the importance of personal pronouns. In addition, BCPS staff members will be encouraged to add their personal pronouns to their email signatures to promote inclusivity and visibility. During each of the first three weeks of June, specific activities will be encouraged. Through June 5, all students and staff are asked to use chalk to draw/write positive messages on the sidewalk, and to post pictures of their drawings/messages to social media using the hashtags #BCPSCares and #MindOverMatters. High school students are asked to submit stories about how being LGBTQ has impacted their lives. During week 2, June 8 – 12, staff can engage in two professional development seminars on visibility, language, and establishing and maintaining Gay Straight Alliances at their schools. Students of all ages are encouraged to visit the LGBTQ History Coloring Book. For week 3, June 15 – 19, staff and middle and high school students are asked to read the adapted article Celebrate Who You Are. Then each person is asked to “write a heartfelt letter of gratitude, appreciation, and love to yourself about yourself. Place the letter in a sealed, stamped, self-addressed envelope, and give it to a trusted friend, asking them to mail it back to you at some point within the next year.” Also during week 3, all BCPS staff identifying as LGBTQ+ are invited to join an informal chat to celebrate Pride and connect with others in the BCPS community.

TOWSON, MD. – The Board of Education of Baltimore County has issued the following statement to the BCPS community: We, the Board of Education of Baltimore County, abhor the horrific deaths of African Americans around the country and understand the civic unrest; feelings most recently displayed in many American cities. The killings of unarmed U.S. citizens Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, Breonna Taylor in Kentucky, and most recently George Floyd in Minnesota have sparked protests around the country. The current civil unrest during the COVID-19 pandemic only adds to the African American community’s collective trauma. Communities of color already disproportionately affected by the virus may see even greater numbers of cases in the days, weeks, and months ahead. What is needed now is open and honest communication and transparency to move our communities and nation forward. The Board looks forward to continuing conversations with each other and with Superintendent Dr. Darryl Williams and BCPS staff to address issues of systemic and institutional racism, as well as closing gaps of inequity within our school system. We are stronger together. We encourage the community to also read the statement to the community issued by Dr. Williams and to take advantage of the additional supports being offered to our school communities.

To each school’s staff, he broke the big news -- Mars Estates Elementary’s Kelly O’Connell is the 2020-21 Elementary Principal of the Year; Woodlawn Middle’s Rochelle Archelus is the 2020-21 Middle School Principal of the Year; and Kenwood High’s Brian Powell is the 2020-21 High School Principal of the Year. “We have encountered many unexpected challenges this year, but I am so proud of how these Principals of the Year rose to the occasion,” Williams said. “They are champions of their school communities and have shown exceptional leadership.” Principals of the Year are typically announced during the annual Teacher of the Year celebration each spring. Because of the school closings this year, however, the announcement was made during the online staff meetings for each principal’s school.

Rochelle Archelus

O’Connell is in her fourth year as principal at Mars Estates Elementary and her 18th year with BCPS. She earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a master’s degree in human resources school leadership from Towson University. She refers to students as #MarsStars, and that social media hashtag is regularly used to celebrate school and community achievements.“This award is not just about me, it’s a reflection for everyone at Mars Estates Elementary,” O’Connell said. “It’s about teachers, students, and families and doing what is right for all kids.” Archelus is in her sixth year as the principal at Woodlawn Middle and her 23rd year working for BCPS. She earned a bachelor’s degree in music education from Morgan State University and a master’s degree in human resources development from Towson University. She credited her staff’s commitment and excellence for the honor. She also thanked her mother, Rachel Glover-Archelus, who was a public educator for 40 years in Newark, N.J.“If I can be half the educator that my mother was, then I’ve done great,” Archelus said. “She is my inspiration.”

Brian Powell

Powell is in his fourth year as the principal at Kenwood High and his 12th year working for BCPS. He earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a master’s degree in education from Salisbury University. For the continuity of education BCPS has used during the coronavirus, Powell was one of the first BCPS principals to start posting school announcement videos online, often with his two young daughters taking part.“This is something we can celebrate with the entire team,” Powell said. “As far as I’m concerned, we are school of the year. It’s not just about me.” The Principal of the Year selection process began this year with an opportunity for community members to nominate school leaders. BCPS received 3,905 community nominations, which were considered by the Principal of the Year selection committee led by administrators from the Office of Organizational Effectiveness. This was also the first year in which both a middle and a high school Principal of the Year were chosen; in past years, only elementary and secondary honorees were selected.

A new page on the BCPS website provides detailed information on the student registration process and on what new arrivals to BCPS need to know. Listed as “Registration During Closure” on the school system’s COVID-19 resource page, it is easily accessible from the BCPS home page. “We have limited access to buildings and school staff right now, so we wanted to be able to provide families with a means by which they could register their children virtually,” said Dr. Amalio Nieves, executive director of the BCPS Department of Social-Emotional Support. “We wanted to create a safe way for families to upload the documents they needed.” Among the new features of the page is an online registration form that will be used in lieu of in-person registration at the school as long as schools are closed. Because schools are closed now and likely will be for much of the summer – the traditional time when families register new students – Nieves said an online form is necessary to make the process as seamless, fast, and easy as possible. “It’s also important for families to do this so that schools can be informed about making decisions, about knowing the number of students they’ll have, about how that will affect their hiring decisions, about classroom structure and having the support and resources for our students to be able to learn,” Nieves said. Once complete, parents or guardians must submit the form and attach scanned required documents or submit the form and then, once schools are reopened, bring copies of necessary documents to their child’s school. Students cannot be registered until all necessary documentation has been provided. Required documents include proof of Baltimore County residency and a student’s birth certificate, immunization record, and a copy of the child’s most recent report card (if applicable). The new webpage also contains a school boundaries locator that parents should use to determine which school their children should attend, a list of schools that offer a 3-year-old program for parents of children eligible for Preschool, and information about non-traditional enrollments, how to determine residency, policies governing the registration process, and BCPS schools in general. Online forms for renewal of shared domicile and residency verification for children in Grades 5 and 8 who are transitioning to middle and high schools will be available on the registration webpage soon.

TOWSON, MD. – Ninety-two Baltimore County Public Schools seniors have earned the Maryland Seal of Biliteracy this year, an honor that recognizes their high proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages other than English. The award is presented by the state through Baltimore County Public Schools. BCPS is one of 20 Maryland counties along with Baltimore City that have participated in the program since its adoption in 2016. Begun in California in 2011, the Seal of Biliteracy is offered in 36 states and Washington, D.C. In its first year of availability in BCPS, 202 students earned the Seal of Biliteracy. “Baltimore County schools recognizes the tremendous value and importance of ensuring that our graduates are proficient in multiple languages as they enter a world of increasingly global economic competition, social awareness, and cultural appreciation,” said BCPS Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams. “So we congratulate these superlative students for their hard work and determination to earn this distinction and enhance their abilities to become true citizens of the world.” Including this year’s honorees, a total of 371 BCPS students have qualified for the Seal of Biliteracy since 2016, but more may soon be added to their number. “We expect many more seals to be earned following this year's Advanced Placement exam results,” said Jennifer Hernandez, director of the BCPS Office of World Languages and English for Speakers of Other Languages. “This achievement is also a testament to the hard work of our World Languages teachers at the elementary, middle, and high school level.”

TOWSON, MD. – Baltimore County Public Schools students can enroll free of charge in virtual SAT and ACT Summer Prep Camps offered by Refinity, a nonprofit cofounded by Alhassan Bangura, a rising senior at Western School of Technology. The camps offer two-hour sessions four days each week. The virtually-hosted ACT camp will be held from Thursday, June 18, through Wednesday, July 15.The virtually-hosted SAT camp will run from Monday, July 20, through Friday, August 28. Any BCPS student who registers online for the SAT or ACT camp and identifies as a BCPS student will be allowed to participate for free. Due to the late notice for the ACT camp, students can register for it at any time and will have access to recordings of the sessions they have missed. Bangura, who is the president and CEO of Refinity, explains that the nonprofit organization began as a small group of volunteers – five students from four states – who, as a result of the closings of school buildings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, sought to provide Advanced Placement (AP) students with resources and support to study for their upcoming exams. “Soon, we reached 4,000 enrolled students, were hosting virtual study sessions with an audience of 50-plus students from numerous states and countries and providing one-on-one lessons with a qualified team of tutors,” Bangura said. “This sent us a strong message: the end of AP exams would not mark the end of us. We incorporated ourselves as a nonprofit organization and expanded our mission to help high school students with standard subjects, vocational subjects, and miscellaneous life skills. Now, we are proud to further this mission with the start of our next big project: SAT and ACT Summer Prep Camps!” In addition to his leadership role with Refinity, Bangura is the co-founder, vice president, and humanitarian coordinator for 23:59 – The Minute Initiative, a humanitarian and environmental services club. He was also this year's historian of Baltimore County Student Councils and participated on its Environmental Committee. At Western Tech, Bangura was the secretary of the Student Government Association, founder of a Principal's Student Advisory Council,a junior class officer, current historian and upcoming vice president for the African Student Association, and the upcoming secretary-historian of the National French Honor Society. This year, he interned at theUniversity of Maryland Medical Center’s R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center and Baltimore Veterans Affairs Healthcare System and earned certifications in Basic Life Support and Heartsaver First Aid from the American Heart Association, Occupational Safety and Health Administration 10-Hour General Industry Certification, and Stop the Bleed Training from the American College of Surgeons.
