“Partnerships and presenters in high schools are vital for enriching education. We are fortunate to have both through the Fort Meade Alliance and their Project Scope presentations. Each year, they visit the classes of our 9th-grade students at Severna Park High School. These visits have a significant impact on our students by providing them with valuable resources and opportunities. Our students benefit from hands-on learning and gain practical experience in fields like cybersecurity and technology, with a special emphasis on what is required to obtain security clearances. Students learn how the decisions they make now can either positively or negatively impact their future career options.
Partnering with the Fort Meade Alliance also allows for mentorship opportunities. Students at Severna Park receive guidance and inspiration for their future careers and are able to connect with local businesses and organizations, expanding their professional networks early on. The Fort Meade Alliance inspires our students to envision their futures beyond the classroom.”
