Dr. Porter from MCPS visits AOIT Students

On March 9th, our Academy students and staff had the pleasure of meeting with highly respected leader Dr. John Q. Porter from Montgomery County Public School (MCPS). Dr. Porter serves as Deputy Superintendent for Information and Organizational Systems, within MCPS. In this capacity, he leads the work of the organizational development, technology, and accountability units with innovative approaches and strategic technologies that support school system reform initiatives.

Dr. Porter presented some of his own personal stories and challenges he had to overcome to get to where he is today. In addition, he answered many student questions about what lies ahead in the future for MCPS and Information Technology.
