Capstone Objective:
The Prince George’s County Youth Career Connect Program (PGC-YCCP) Homeland Security Capstone Challenge 2017, is designed to teach students how to respond to emergency situations that may occur in their own communities or schools. The PGC-YCCP is for students attending Prince Georges County Public Schools Career Academies at Bladensburg (Biomedical Sciences), Fairmont Heights (Information Technology), Parkdale (Homeland Security) and Potomac (Homeland Security and Information Technology) High Schools.
