Richard Montgomery High School
Richard Montgomery High School is a
Montgomery County, Maryland public school located in
Rockville, Maryland. It is named for
Richard Montgomery, an American General who died while attempting to capture the British-held (now
Canadian) city of
Quebec. Its name is not shortened in everyday parlance by its students or alumni, presumably because shortening it to
Montgomery would be too vague, and also perhaps to distinguish it from
Montgomery Blair High School in
Silver Spring.
Academics
The school houses Montgomery County's International Baccalaureate program, which attracts top students from the entire county.
