FCPS is installing Open Gate screeners in all high schools, and daily screening is now required at all FCPS high schools. Our screeners are now active at Doors 1 and 21.

Screening will begin at 7:30 a.m. each day.
After 8:10 a.m., Door 21 will shut down and all students will enter and be screened through Door 1
Please plan your morning arrival routine to accommodate this change.
To further accommodate the FCPS and FHS safety plan, all student parking will be relocated to the front of the building.

Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page on the FCPS website for more information about the weapons screening system. You can watch this Video for an explanation of how it works. You may also submit a question to our Chief of Safety and Security Office.

Please reach out to an administrator or the security team if you have additional questions or concerns. Thank you for your support in our shared commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment for students and staff.
