 As principal of Chopticon High School, I have the honor of working with a dedicated faculty and staff who provide a world class education for the students of St. Mary’s County.  With over $6.5 million earned in scholarship money last school year, our alumni are attending some of the top colleges and universities in the nation.  In fact, three of our graduates from the Class of 2009 are attending United States Military Academies. 

At Chopticon, we believe that academic rigor is the key to success.  As a result, twenty-one different Advanced Placement courses are offered to our students, including the addition this year of AP macro-economics, AP micro-economics and AP art history.  Those students who take five or more AP classes during their high school experience are designated “AP Stars” and receive special recognition upon graduating.

Being a Chopticon Brave means setting your goals high and reaching for the stars.  Our intention is to make each student’s dream come true.  With self-discipline and hard work on the part of the students, the dedication of our faculty and staff, and the support of our parents and community, this can happen.

 Mr. Garth E. Bowling, Jr.
