UPPER MARLBORO, MD – Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) proudly hosted its annual Valedictorians and Salutatorians Celebration for the Class of 2025 on Wednesday, May 14, at Martin's Crosswinds in Greenbelt. This special event honored the top academic achievers from all 27 PGCPS high schools.
“We are so proud of these students for their years of focus, persistence, and hard-earned achievement,” said Superintendent Millard House II. “But we also recognize the people behind the scenes who contributed to their success - families and teachers who supported and believed in them.”
The evening featured remarks from Board Chair Branndon D. Jackson and Superintendent House, who both extended their congratulations to the honorees. The Gwynn Park High School
saxophone ensemble provided musical entertainment, while the school's AFJROTC unit opened the ceremony with a presentation of the colors.
“We are incredibly proud to celebrate the hard work, perseverance, and academic excellence of the Class of 2025 valedictorians and salutatorians,” said Dr. Carletta Marrow, Associate Superintendent of High Schools and Non-Traditional Programs. “These students represent the very best of PGCPS, and their achievements are a testament to their dedication, the support of their families, and the commitment of our educators. This celebration honors their leadership and the bright futures that lie ahead.”
Valedictorians and salutatorians are recognized for earning the highest grade point averages (GPA) in their respective schools. This year's competition was especially close, resulting in ties for salutatorian at both the Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC and Crossland High School. In addition to their academic success, many of these students are active leaders, athletes, and volunteers within their schools and communities.
