“I began taking classes at CCBC be- cause I wanted to get ahead of my peers and to achieve as many col- lege credits as I can to transfer into a four-year institution,” he said. “So, I’ll spend less time there and spend less money for school.” Most of his classes were paid for by BCPS when students could take courses free of charge. Last year, the policy changed. Now students considered College Career Ready (CCR) can enroll in four free class- es beginning junior year. Raheem hopes to major in computer
WHS senior Raheem Provost will graduate in June 2025 with his high school diploma, and he is on target to earn his Associate of Arts degree from the Community College of Baltimore County, (CCBC). Raheem, who is originally from Jamaica and moved to Baltimore County in 2021, is not enrolled in the Early College Program (ECP) at WHS. Students accepted to the ECP magnet earn a high school di- ploma and Associate of Arts degree simultaneously. Instead, Provost independently en- rolled in college courses at CCBC.

should prioritize their academic re- sponsibilities. Then, they are expected to put forth 100% ef- fort in practice and compete at their high- est-level during meets. This approach
The Woodlawn Girls Indoor Track Team won the State Championship on Wednesday, Feb. 19, at the Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex. The team swept all three titles this season, County, Regional, and State Champions. Our sports team spoke with Coach Montgomery about the season and the team. What’s your focus as a coach? We focus on individual strengths and providing opportunities for per- sonal growth and possibly compet- ing at the college level, each kid ex- celling in their own abilities in their own way. What does the training include? The individual development is re- flected in the team’s rigorous train - ing regimen which includes drills, long and short sprints, weightlift- ing, and long-distance running. Our training helps our athletes hone
their unique skills and build endur- ance. Are there limitations to indoor track? Air quality can be a concern, and in- clement weather can hinder training efforts. Despite these challenges, the track team remains committed to giving their all both in practice and during competitions. What are the expectations for the track teams? The expectations for our program are clear. First and foremost, ath-
to coaching had led to a strong sense of camaraderie among the team, as athletes work together to achieve their goals and support one another in their efforts. The success of the Woodlawn Track and Field program is a group ef- fort. Without Coach Young, Coach Sneed, Ms. Shucavage and Coach Collins, this program would not be where we are today. Also, Thank you to Mr. Foxwell and Principal Jernigan for their unwavering sup- port.

As senior year draws to a close, Provost is taking time to reflect on a high school experience that afforded him the opportunity to “make a lot of friends who share similar beliefs as me and are also goal oriented in their pursuit for success.”
He has a four recommendations for his peers. “My advice to WHS students is to explore your interests, ask for help, set goals and take care of your- selves.”
