OUR STORY

​In 2005, Walter Johnson High School in Montgomery County, Maryland, initiated efforts to address the lack of minority students in rigorous classes and extracurricular activities.

Mr. Michael Williams, Ms. Esther Adams, Dr. Chris Garran, and Dr. Edgar Malker gathered a group of African American and Latino students to discuss the various issues.

The students embraced the challenge, created a mission, and began building the MSP movement.

In 2008, MSP expanded to Clarksburg High School.

Two years later, Wootton and Bethesda-Chevy Chase High Schools joined the movement.

There are now 25 high schools, 35 middle schools, and 15 elementary schools that have MSP programs, making it the fastest growing youth-led movement in Montgomery County.   

The movement continues. We're still not closed and we're still not done. 

WE ARE A PROGRAM THAT IS...
