Springbrook
families, staff and alumni - For one night only, one of our school’s most
famous alums (or infamous, depending on your perspective) is returning
to 201 Valley Brook Drive for a very special benefit show. Yes, the
madly comic and comically mad Lewis Black, Class of ’66, will play SHS
on Friday, June 29. Hope to see you there, in an auditorium filled with
more than four decades of Blue Devils! Examiner

Springbrook
honored as one of
Washington
area's "schools that work"
April
3, 2005 - The Washington Post selected Springbrook as one of the "30
exceptional public and private high schools from across the [Washington
Metro] region." Springbrook was so honored in the article "High Schools
That Work" by Jay Matthews, published in the Washington Post Magazine on
Sunday, April 3, 2005.
The
Post received over 300 nominations of noteworthy schools in a survey last
September, then then interviewed education experts, visited schools, and
examined statistics to select 30 of the nominated schools. Springbrook,
Blair, and Walter Johnson were the only MCPS high schools to be featured
in the article.
The
Post praised Springbrook as a school with a racially mixed student body
that has embraced AP and IB college-level course programs. The article
describes Springbrook as a "very large school [with] one of the most experienced
and respected principals in the region, Michael A. Durso." It notes
that Springbrook is a school of great diversity as well as great academic
achievement: "[the school] gave more than 1,000 AP and IB tests last
year, and many of the academic and student leaders are African American,
Hispanic or other minorities." Read
