Every single day, our custodial team works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our classrooms, hallways, and campuses clean, safe, and welcoming for our students and staff. They are the heartbeat of our school facilities!
We encourage our MPS Family to appreciate our custodians every day!


Throughout the month of October (October 1–31), Montgomery Public Schools stands in solidarity with fighters, honors courageous survivors, and remembers those we’ve lost.
We encourage our entire MPS family to spread awareness and support early detection education. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer! ✨

At Montgomery Public Schools, we are committed to creating safe, supportive, and inclusive environments where every student feels valued and respected.
Kindness starts with us! Throughout this month, our schools will focus on promoting empathy, standing up to bullying, and fostering a culture of inclusion across all campuses.
Together, we can make a difference. Let’s choose kindness, speak up, and support one another!
