Summer School

QO is pleased to offer a FREE local Summer School program for both credit and non-credit bearing courses this summer! Summer school will be open to all QO students as well as students from other MCPS high schools. Students may take up to one first semester course (A course) and up to one-second semester course (B course) during the summer. Each course will run for three weeks. At the conclusion of the three-week course, students may earn credit for credit-bearing courses.  The current dates for summer school are as follows - Session 1: June 29th – July 19th & Session 2: July 20th – August 9th. We have the option of offering classes either in-person, blended or through a hybrid model or any combination of these models (In-person courses will be hosted at Lakelands Park Middle School). Additional details about location will follow at a later time. Determination on which courses offered will depend on a combination of student need and teacher availability. Please review the QOHS Summer School Information document for additional information to register. Additional questions, contact Mr. Yarborough, Assistant Principal Phillip_A_Yarborough@mcpsmd.org.

PTSA Volunteers Needed

Hello QOHS parents, staff, and family. The QOHS PTSA is in severe need of volunteers in order for the organization to exist for the 2022-2023 school year. We need a Vice President to retain our charter and be in compliance with IRS and state requirements. We also need multiple other leadership positions for our activities to be fulfilled. Please contact qohsptsa@gmail.com to volunteer. If we do not get enough leaders for the new school year, we will explore options to transition the organization's activities to other groups. If you value what the PTSA offers the school, please consider stepping up into a leadership role.
