Welcome to our student showcase! Don’t get us wrong – we’ll take any chance, anywhere, to show off and brag about how awesome our students are. This page, though, is specifically to give them a chance to publish and share their completed projects with the world.
It’ll be a rotating cast – as new excellence emerges, we’ll update and keep you posted with the latest greatness our students have to offer. We hope you enjoy experiencing them as much as we did seeing them be created!

Caity is not only one of our star students, she’s also a member of the Frederick County Emergency Communications Center team, as well as a guest speaker for classes elsewhere in our program.
She’s also a passionate advocate for ensuring dispatchers and telecommunicators aren’t forgotten when we talk about “first responders” – it’s not just the folks on the ground who matter; it’s also the ones who get the urgent information where it needs to go to allow everyone on the public safety team to do their jobs.
