Quince Orchard High School students show off their excitement as they walk the halls on the first day of school.

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) welcomed approximately 144,000 students โ€” an increase of 2,200 students over last year โ€” for the start of the 2010-2011 school year on August 30.

โ€œWe have a busy and exciting year ahead at MCPS,โ€ said Jerry Weast, MCPS superintendent of schools. โ€œWe have the best staff in the nation, a highly supportive and engaged community and exceptional students who I know will continue to build upon the tremendous progress weโ€™ve made over the past 11 years.โ€

Our back to school coverage, including reports from Rachel Carson Elementary and Lakelands Park Middle, begins on page 19.
