Watkins Mill Athletics earns Level 1 status from NFHS for third straight year

On Friday, Aug. 11, Watkins Mill Athletics announced via their Facebook page that they had achieved Level 1 status within the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) Honor Roll Program for the 2023-24 school year for the third year in a row. In a letter sent to the Athletics Department, “This national distinction honors the dedication and commitment that your school and coaches have to your students and to education-based programs. Your school has joined a national community of schools that value the professional development of their coaches and the learning experience of their students.”

Watkins Mill High School is one of four Maryland schools to achieve this honor, and the first school in Maryland to win three years in a row. The NFHS serves as the national authority that promotes and protects the defining values of education-based high school athletics and activities in collaboration with its member state associations.
