Welcome to Poolesville High SchoolIntroducing the Whole School Magnet

Montgomery County Public Schools has a twenty-five year track record of developing nationally recognized, rigorous instructional programs for highly motivated and capable students. Poolesville High School was recognized in the

Washington Post Challenge Index as the #1 high school in the State of Maryland for the last seven years. The programs at Poolesville High school are available for up-county students who test into the program as well as for students who reside in the Poolesville attendance area. The whole school magnet opens to all the promise of rigorous, engaging courses taught by inspired teachers. A whole school magnet is organized around instructional “houses” composed of small teams of teachers from multiple disciplines focused on a proven magnet course of studies. The whole school model engages and challenges students selected through an application process, as well as local school students interested in the magnet focus areas. Magnet focus areas

• Global House (GH)• Humanities House (HH)• Independent Studies Program (ISP)• Science, Math, Computer Science House (SMCSH)

Four Houses of Instruction— You Decide

Students who are participating the application/screening process may only apply to the Global House, Humanities House and the Science, Math, Computer Science House. They may be invited to all three houses or any combination. These students

must choose a single instructional house. Students who successfully complete the house courses designated with an asterisk (*) will earn a House Certificate of Achievement.

All other students benefit from an Independent Studies Program. During the 9th and 10th grade year students fulfill many gradu-ation requirements much in the same way as college freshman and sophomores complete basic gradu-ation requirements. When choosing courses for the junior year, students select a house focus to earn an ISP Certificate of Achievement based on the courses they select as juniors and seniors.
