BOE Spotlight on Black History Month

During Black History Month, the Board of Education is proud to open this month by honoring the power, resilience and enduring legacy of Black history in Montgomery County. Learning, leadership and community first came together at Scotland A.M.E. Zion Church in Potomac. Built by freed slaves and their descendants and opened in 1924, this space became a foundation for education, support and opportunity long before a formal school existed.
