EFMP Listening Tour: Help Plan the Future of Our Schools
PGCPS is developing a new Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP), a 10-year roadmap that will help guide decisions about our school buildings and other facilities. The plan will consider enrollment and population trends, building conditions and the changing needs of our students and communities to help establish a long-term vision for PGCPS facilities, helping the district make strategic decisions about where and how to prioritize resources over time.
Beginning October 19, join us for a Community-Wide EFMP Listening Tour, with a session in each of the district’s nine Board of Education districts.

Get Your Own Tiny Home – Built By Students
PGCPS’ first student-built tiny house was built last school year by our Career and Technical Education (CTE) students. ”Homestead 24” is a 280-square-foot home featuring a sleeping loft, full kitchen, bathroom and living area.
The tiny house is now officially up for sale, with a list price of $55,000. Proceeds from the sale of student-built House #49 will support student opportunities and help make House #50 possible!
