Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) located in Maryland, is one of the nation’s largest and most diverse school districts, serving 155,000 students in 211 schools across Maryland’s largest county. Our mission is to ensure every student is ready for college, career, and community, what we call being MCPS Future Ready.
MCPS is recognized nationally for its academic excellence, commitment to equity, and dedication to innovation. Our staff, educators, support professionals, and administrators, work together to create safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environments where all students can thrive. Joining MCPS means becoming part of a team driven by purpose, collaboration, and the belief that every student’s success is our shared responsibility.
MCPS is joining the Social Mobility Leadership Network because we view this network as an essential catalyst to transition from incremental progress to systemic transformation in our High Quality Advanced Coursework (HQAC) offerings and success. We are eager to learn alongside districts navigating similar challenges, bring our own experience in regionalizing programming to expand access, and hold ourselves to outcomes that unleash our students’ potential!
