MCPS will implement a regional high school center program model starting in the 2027-28 school year to expand access to academic programs for high school students across Montgomery County. In this approach, MCPS high schools will be grouped into six regions to provide every student access to parallel, high-quality programs in each region. A regional model will allow MCPS to offer a greater number of students more opportunities to enroll in higher-level programs as a result of having these programs in every region instead of just a few schools across the county .
