Student Recognition

District 5 Blog Post: 02/02/2026

It was such an honor to recognize these incredible and talented members of AACPS staff. I had the personal privilege of recognizing Katy Kelley, who is not only a 5 time consecutive state champion coach for Broadneck girls lacrosse, but also a wonderful teacher who taught one of our sons in preschool and then again as a freshman at BHS. Congratulations again to each of you!
