As we stand on the brink of change, we recognize that moments of transition can bring both hope and uncertainty.
At Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS), our strength lies in the rich diversity of our students, families, and staff. With more than 150 countries and languages represented across our district, we are proud to be a community that celebrates cultural differences, fosters inclusion, and recognizes the immeasurable contributions of all who call PGCPS home.
In moments of uncertainty, it is more important than ever to reaffirm our values. We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that every child – regardless of background, language, or country of origin – receives a high-quality education in a safe, welcoming environment.
We understand that some families may feel unsettled right now. Please know that PGCPS stands in solidarity with you. We are here to ensure that all families understand their rights and know that they are part of a school community that cares deeply about their well-being.
It is important for our families to know the following:
At this time, schools remain considered secure locations under federal law, and we do not anticipate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity on school grounds.
In the weeks ahead, we will continue to provide resources, updates, and opportunities to ensure that all families feel informed and empowered. Our partnership with you is vital, and we want every family to know their rights and feel confident in their child’s educational journey.
We are stronger together. Let us continue to stand by one another and ensure that every child in our community feels a sense of belonging and hope for the future.
Thank you for your continued partnership and trust in PGCPS.
Sincerely,
Millard House II
Superintendent
