New Partnership Supports HCPSS LGBTQIA+ Initiatives

October 1st, 2024

HCPSS has signed a partnership agreement with Plot Twist Horse Farm to promote a creative, inclusive and welcoming environment for students and families. Through the partnership, Plot Twist Horse Farm will support HCPSS LGBTQIA+ initiatives by:

  • Hosting weekend events for parents/guardians of middle and high school students to connect and discuss HCPSS supports and programs;
  • Offering volunteer opportunities for middle and high school students during those weekend events; and
  • Providing support and/or activities for the annual HCPSS Pride Prom.

In addition, Plot Twist Horse Farm will provide internship opportunities for students receiving special education services in the HCPSS Career and Community Exploration program.

The HCPSS Partnerships Office has united schools with more than 1,000 businesses and community organizations to enhance the educational experience of Howard County students. Partnerships benefit schools, businesses and the entire community by leveraging the resources of all participants. Partners may commit human or financial resources or other support.
