ESOL Resource Teacher: Heather Holcomb
The WMHS ESOL program offers self-contained classes for English language acquisition and the Multi-disciplinary Education and Training Support [METS] for students with significant gaps in their prior education. Students are identified for ESOL at the MCPS School Counseling, Residency and International Admissions Office and take the WIDA ACCESS test annually to measure growth. Students exit the ESOL program when they meet language proficiency levels in reading, writing, speaking, and listening set by the Maryland State Department of Education.
