Wicomico High

On Thursday, November 21, Wicomico County Public Schools held two Public Information Sessions regarding the current School Boundary Study and the two draft options for boundary changes. There is now an ONLINE SURVEY open through Dec. 9 to gather feedback on the two draft options for the school boundary changes. Just scan the QR code in either English, Spanish or Haitian Creole to participate in this survey. We want to hear from you. If you were unable to attend either Public Information Session, you can watch the presentation on our YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/fJ1Rg0Yh3xU
