Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) recently celebrated over 25 students who completed the requirements for a Maryland high school diploma in summer school. The students, along with their friends, family and staff from their respective high schools, gathered July 31, at Thomas Stone High School for a summer commencement ceremony.
During the ceremony, Corey Dobbins, principal of alternative programs at the Robert D. Stethem Educational Center, encouraged the students to not compare their journeys to anyone else’s.
