Hello 8th Grade Parents:
Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Engineering empowers students to step into the role of an engineer, adopt a problem-solving mindset, and make the leap from dreamers to doers. The program's courses engage students in compelling, real-world challenges that help them become better collaborators and thinkers. Students gain knowledge and skills from these courses that they will not only use in high school but in their future careers as well.
This accelerated 5-course program is weighted as honors, and students have the opportunity to earn college credit as well through exams at the end of each course.
The PLTW program is open to all Linganore students. If you live outside of Linganore High School's district, you can apply to be in the program and come to Linganore High School. To apply, go to the Linganore webpage https://education.fcps.org/lhs/ and go to Lancer Quick Links. Select the link PLTW/Out of District Application and complete the application. We are accepting forms until February 4, 2022.
You can visit PLTW.org to find out more about the Engineering Program or you can contact one of the PLTW teachers here at Linganore, Mr. Lastova (mark.lastova@fcps.org) or Mr. Greene (patrick.greene@fcps.org).
