Montgomery Co. students rally minority scholars to close achievement gap

Written By Ryann Russ

SILVER SPRING, Md. — The thump of a go-go beat filled the auditorium at Northwood High School on Saturday morning, as a roll call of schools was read from the stage.

“Norrrrthwoooooood! James Hubert Blake are you in the house? Come on Clarksburg, make some noise!!” More than 400 students from across Montgomery County — and from as far away as Kent County — let out deafening cheers in response.

The occasion was a retreat held by the Montgomery County Public Schools’ Minority Scholars Program, aimed at closing the achievement gap.
