Frederick County Public Schools’ (FCPS) students and staff will celebrate the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at a free event on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, 7:00pm, at Governor Thomas Johnson High School.

Our theme for this 35th annual celebration is “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” During the celebration, a student from each FCPS school will be recognized as their school’s King Award recipient. Students were selected by their school based on their demonstration of positive leadership qualities characteristic of Dr. King: Responsibility, Caring, Fairness, Trustworthiness, Citizenship, and Respect.
