Claiming What’s Next — College. Career. Military. Entrepreneurs. Purpose.

Decision Day 2026
PGCPS proudly celebrates the Class of 2026 on College and Career Decision Day — a powerful moment when thousands of seniors share what’s next!
"This is what becoming looks like."
Meet students stepping boldly into their futures: committing to colleges and universities, enlisting to serve, and launching directly into careers. Each photo and video captures more than a decision; it reflects years of hard work, resilience, and ambition. This is more than a milestone — it’s momentum. A generation stepping forward, ready to lead, build, and transform Prince George’s County and beyond.
PGCPS seniors took over for Decision Day 2026, announcing their next moves to college, the military, and new careers.
“Started here. Going everywhere.”

Interim Superintendent Dr. Shawn Joseph and Chief of Staff Dr. Deann Collins share words of inspiration for the Class of 2026!

We're celebrating the brilliance and ambition of the PGCPS Class of 2026.

Hear from some grads and partners committed to their success, including Prince George's Community College, Towson University, Bowie State University, and University of Maryland, each offering pathways to opportunity, leadership, innovation, and impact.
