Rockville High School Sophomore Named Finalist for the Maryland State Student Member of the Board of Education (SMOB)

On Saturday, February 11, Madison Watts, a sophomore from Rockville High School, was elected as a finalist for the Maryland State Student Member of the Board of Education (SMOB). Over 300 student leaders from across the state of Maryland attended the Maryland Association of Student Councils annual Legislative Session hosted by the Wheaton High School Student Government Association and the Montgomery Regional Student Government Association. The other finalist is Abisola Ayoola, a junior from Wilde Lake High School (Howard County). Maryland Governor, Wes Moore, will select one of these finalists as the next Maryland State SMOB in late spring.

The Kennedy High School NJROTC color guard presented colors and the Wheaton High School chorus sang the National anthem during the opening session. The keynote speaker for the day was Lt. Governor Aruna Miller who shared inspiring words about her leadership journey and the role of servant leadership.
