Allegany County is home to fourteen public elementary schools, four public middle schools, three public high schools, one technical school, and one alternative placement program. All twenty-two schools are staffed by highly qualified teachers. Every day, these schools and staff do amazing things for our students.Each year we would like to take the opportunity to highlight some of these accomplishments, programs, and more. Several schools will be "featured" on a weekly basis, and then their highlights will move into a folder under the Accolades section of our website for the public to view all year long.
We encourage you to take a moment to enjoy our weekly ACPS highlights and visit the archives to view an individual school spotlight to see what great things are happening in Allegany County Public Schools!

Senate Bill 610 requires a school district to utilize built in days for closures for severe weather conditions. Once those built in days have been used, virtual learning can take place.
Schools will be closed for the first three ACPS inclement weather closures, and the three days will be made up at the end of the school year.
If ACPS requires additional closures, the school system will transition to virtual learning through Schoology. The virtual learning day will consist of four (4) hours of synchronous instruction, with the afternoon set aside for asynchronous learning.
As always, students without access to connectivity will be allowed up to two days following a closure to submit assignments to be counted present for a particular class.
