Senior Week

River Hill High School

Many Howard County high school seniors participate in the Maryland tradition of going to the shore for senior week.  Having so many unsupervised teens in one place can lead to dangerous situations, risky behavior, and trouble with the law.  Before deciding whether or not to permit your child to go to Ocean City for senior week, find out the facts.  Officer Howard Caplan, of the Ocean City Police Department offers his advice and expertise to keep your child safe.  Parents are encouraged to bring their high school senior to this informative program.
