Engage. Empower. Excel.

Tom Burch's interest in cooking led him from the culinary arts program at George Washington Carver Center for Arts and Technology to the prestigious Culinary Institute of America to working in acclaimed New York restaurants. But when a desire to be closer to family brought him back to Baltimore, he discovered the 'secret world' of school food services and joined the Team BCPS staff.

BCPS mourns the loss of former Superintendent Dr. Bob Dubel, “an educational giant” and “unwavering champion of our schools, educators, and students.” Please read our full statement from Board of Education Chair Jane Lichter and Superintendent Dr. Myriam Rogers (Yarbrough).
