Dean Garth Rockcastle and the faculty extend well-deserved congratulations to all ten seniors who represented Maryland in this year's competition and a special bravo to this year's winners.
Below are the winning teams from this year's interschool competition winners. This year's competition was for the design of a demountable theatre for the mall. Students were treated to a fantastic briefing about the state of the Mall and then embarked upon this effort by Judy Scott Feldman, PhD, Chair and President of the National Coalition to Save Our Mall. The boards will travel to the four schools this semester.
