We had a legendary day at Annapolis Middle School! We were incredibly honored to welcome back one of our very own AMS and @AACPS alumni, the incredibly talented Mr. Rodney Barnes! 🎬📚
From walking these exact hallways to writing for hit TV shows, movies, comics, and his graphic novel Quincredible, Mr. Barnes is a true inspiration. Our Dragons got to ask some amazing questions about his creative journey, and every student walked away with their very own autographed copy of Quincredible! 🤯✍️
Thank you, Mr. Barnes, for giving back to your roots and showing our students that their dreams are within reach. Once a Dragon, always a Dragon! 🐉✨ https://www.instagram.com/annapmsaacps/reel/DZGFHjwKEBR/

Congratulations to two AACPS students — Tenley Raymond of Old Mill High School and Rocco Katsikides of Severna Park High School — who were selected as part of Junior Achievement of Central Maryland’s “JA 18 Under 18 Class of 2026.” This program recognizes students across the region for leadership, entrepreneurship, community involvement, and academic achievement. Plenty of kids enjoy baking cookies, but Kiriakos (Rocco) turned a hobby into a business. In 7th grade, Rocco got a mixer and baking supplies and built his own business, Colossus Cookie Company, from the ground up, starting with sales in his neighborhood and growing to sales in local markets. Tenley exemplifies leadership that uplifts others and has a lasting impact on her community. She is an active volunteer at community events, including collecting and delivering donated books for her community’s book sale, and she created a fall lacrosse clinic to teach young girls the fundamentals of the sport during the off-season. #OurStory
