About the Magnet
Welcome to the STEM Magnet Program at Montgomery Blair High School.
In 1985, Montgomery County Public Schools opened its Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science Magnet Program within Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland.
The Magnet Program is designed to offer accelerated, interdisciplinary courses in science, mathematics, and computer science for highly able students particularly interested in these subjects.
Since Magnet students have a number of extra academic requirements, magnet students have an eight-period day, instead of the normal seven-period day of most county high school students.
Magnet students can (and do!) take full advantage of Blair's other extracurriculars such as athletics, student clubs, the school's bands and plays, and other activities.
