Dear Class of 2026 10th Graders and Parents,
Welcome back to Fairmont Heights High School for the 2023-24 school year! As the 10th-grade
Administrator, I am looking forward to working with our Class of 2026 students.
Grade ten is an especially important year for the Hornets NEST because each 10th grade student will
complete the State of Maryland MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) exams at the
end of the school year, for the core subjects of Math, English, Social Studies, and Science, as a
graduation requirement.
The Fairmont Heights High School administration will work closely with families, students, teachers,
and Professional School Counselors to strengthen the success of our Class of 2026 students. Parent
support to ensure student attendance, punctuality, and assignment completion is vital to the
positive performance of our scholars.
Other Important information includes the following:
● Uniforms - Fairmont Heights High School grade 10 students are required to wear a burgundy polo
shirt and khaki pants, or skirts, to school daily.
● FARMS (Free and Reduced-priced Meals) - Please visit the website below for FARMS
information about family eligibility and to apply for free or reduced-priced meals: Click Here for

number must be provided by the parents/guardians of each Fairmont Heights High School
student. Please click the link below to update the parent/guardian contact information for

● Title I Program - Fairmont Heights High School will begin the 2023-24 academic year as a
designated Title I high school. Please look for important Title I parent letters that administrators
will share with our Hornets families in the opening weeks of this school year.

Ms. Terita Pottinger
10th Grade Administrator
