Year 2 – Cambridge Walking Tour

During the 2024-2025 school year, nine student volunteers researched and led an all-day walking tour of historic Cambridge, Maryland.  The tour was attended by twenty FCPS educators who were participating in the event as part of their professional development.  Cambridge played a significant role in both the slave trade and the Civil Rights Movement, and the students shared a wealth of information with FCPS educators about the city.

A virtual version of the tour can be found here.
