UPPER MARLBORO, MD - On Thursday, June 12, 2025, the Prince George's County Board of Education and Superintendent Millard House II met and mutually agreed to separate their employment relationship effective June 18, 2025. During the past two years, the Board and Superintendent collaboratively made significant improvement in the school system including, but not limited to, increasing the graduation rate to now over 80%, developing short and long-term strategies for improved student transportation, installing a modern school safety system for middle and high schools, and effectively implementing the Blueprint For Maryland's Future Law.
The Superintendent has provided bold ideas and actions that have set the system on a path for continued improvement. The time spent at PGCPS benefited the overall system and allowed for the Superintendent to place another solid brick in the wall of ever continuing educational success for the students and teachers of Prince George's County.
