While our students are orchestrating captivating dance and art demonstrations, we also want to extend an invitation to families. If you possess musical talents, engaging dance routines, unique artistic expressions, or traditional games that reflect your cultural identity, we'd love for you to be a part of this vibrant event.

To enhance the cultural exchange, we've arranged for food trucks in the parking lot throughout the evening. However, we kindly request that any demonstrations exclude food elements. If you're excited to showcase your cultural treasures, please take a moment to complete the form provided and join us in making FHS International Night an unforgettable experience.

Boys State

Attention Junior Boys:  if you are interested in Government, Politics, Leadership, attendance at a Military Academy, College ROTC, or just a challenging Academic program this is the experience for you.   MD Boys State is a week-long practical exercise in Government that will have a positive influence on your life.  The program’s aim is to expose current high school juniors to the US Constitutional form of government.  The program will emphasize the necessity of future active participation as a citizen in the government process to insure continuing freedom and rights.  This program is sponsored and funded by the American Legion.

If you are a junior boy and interested in participating in this program or have any questions, please contact Social Studies Department chair, Beth Strakonsky.    beth.strakonsky@fcps.org   or find her in Room 302.

Girls State information will posted once it is received.


Student Parking Permits

The Frederick County Public School system provides bus transportation for all students who qualify.  Students are encouraged to ride the bus.  In addition, off-campus parking is available for all students. 

Since parking spaces on campus are limited, students must demonstrate a clear need to drive to school.  A student must also display the ability to operate the vehicle in a responsible and safe manner. 

It is the student's responsibility to honor all rules and regulations.  All student drivers must clearly understand that parking a vehicle on campus is a privilege, not a right.

All students parking on campus must have a valid license and registration.

Students may only park in the student parking lot located next the the practice field in front of the building.  All student spaces are numbered. 

Students may not park in un-numbered spaces at any time (with the exception of drivers permitted to park in designated handicapped spaces).
