DCNRC is a local rowing club has grown from Churchill Crew to include students from Bullis and Wootton, as well as several other high area schools, We are a parent run club with professional coaches whose mission is to teach the sport of rowing while also competing on a national and international level.  Last year, DCNRC/MBC had a boat compete at Nationals. We have also placed many scholarship athletes to some of the top schools in the nation including the Ivy League.

Rowing is a total body workout that strengthens your physical and mental stamina while emphasizing the importance of teamwork through which lifelong friendships are developed. The sport of rowing is heaped with tradition and it is a huge sport on the campuses of many colleges. Let our experienced coaches introduce you to this fantastic sport. We are recruiting athletes for our 2019-2020 rowing season who have a positive attitude and are eager to learn.

ATTENTION 8th Grade Students 
​ 2019 Summer AP/Honors Chemistry Symposium at Churchill

The 2019 Summer Chemistry Symposium is intended for new AP and Honors Chemistry students. It focuses on introducing the fundamental concepts, both chemical and mathematical, needed for both curriculums. There are two sessions for the summer, they’ll meet:

Session 1:  6/24 to 7/3
Session 2:  7/16 to 7/25

The symposium will split to focus on subject class appropriate issues, allowing for dedicated group work and problem solving in a low stress, hands-on, low student-to-teacher ratio environment.

This symposium is intended for students who want to get a foot up on the curriculum material before the new school year, and for those who may have some doubts or concerns regarding stepping into these classes. The symposium provides time to wrestle with course concerns and to get a handle on those concerns. The course will provide a challenging but manageable pace under direct instructor and peer guidance and provide ample opportunity for achieving a comfort level with courses that have traditionally been harder than average for many students.

The link to registering for the summer symposium can be found at:

or by going to the Montgomery County Public School’s Online School Payments page for Winston Churchill HS at
https://bit.ly/2V87w0e
and scrolling down to LSP AP Chemistry/Honors Prep (Non-credit).

The OSP sign up doesn't show it, but I'm the instructor for the symposium; I teach honors and AP chemistry at Churchill.
Thank you.
