AACPS Signatures Programs

 

  • A Signature is a theme chosen by a school and its surrounding community, to connect classroom instruction with real-world situations and workforce-relevant skills. 
  • A Signature brings together educators with local business and community leaders to make classroom instruction relevant, interesting, and challenging for students with opportunities that connect to the 21st century workplace. 
  • Each of the 12 comprehensive high schools in Anne Arundel County will offer a unique Signature Program.  These programs align with the AACPS goals to eliminate the achievement gap by providing all students with access to rigorous coursework.
