Parents of Reservoir High School students will meet this week with the Howard County school board to discuss what they say are some of the highest teacher turnover rates in the district and a substandard quality of education. Armed with county schools data they say they acquired under the Freedom of Information Act, parents and others in the school's community will voice their concerns at a meeting with the board and other school officials at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the cafeteria at the school in Fulton.

After four years without moving school district boundaries, Howard County parents and children can expect numerous rounds of redistricting for the rest of this decade, school officials told County Council members at a meeting Wednesday morning. The change comes because of housing trends, in which the recession cut off the previous decade's fast growth in western county schools. That left scores of seats empty in new school buildings as homebuyers concentrated on lower-priced townhouses and condominiums going up in the redeveloping eastern county, where thousands more new homes are expected.

Reservoir High School's motto is "The Friendliest School in the Country," but that didn't describe the atmosphere at a long-sought meeting between several hundred divided parents and Howard County school officials in the Fulton school's auditorium Wednesday night. With suspensions over the last six years nearly twice the county average and experienced teachers transferring and resigning in higher-than-normal numbers, some parents have lost patience, while others defended the school or wondered what the fuss was about.

The Reservoir High School transition team will sponsor a "Resi Night" from 6:20 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. today at Gardens Ice House, 13800 Old Gunpowder Road, Laurel. Tickets are $5, payable at the door.

A handful of residents opposed to the rezoning of 91 acres in Fulton across from Reservoir High School spoke out during Monday's Planning Board meeting at Glenelg High School. More residents who don't want an apartment complex were in the audience. "For all its purported emphasis on enhancing quality of life for future residents, this amendment fails to account for the lives of those of us who have already chosen Fulton to raise their family," said Fulton resident Phil Hartten. The hearing was the second session held by the Planning Board as it considers comprehensive zoning requests.

Nothing but silence and black stillness fills the stage. Lights slowly fade up on the front door of a shabby household, an upper balcony and a clothesline. Two striking men enter discussing the day's work. So begins Reservoir High School's production of August Wilson's Fences. Fences opened on Broadway in 1985 and ran for 526 performances, winning a number of awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for drama and the Tony Award for best play. The plot centers on the life of Troy Maxson, an outspoken African-American, and his family who live in Pittsburgh during the late 1950s.

The phone went silent before she could finish her sentence. Alex was scared; he didn't know what was going on. He rushed over to her apartment, but he was too late. ... She was already dead. The police called it suicide, and even the note proved it true. But Alex knew better. ... She was murdered. This is only the beginning of a masterful plot designed by D.D. Brooke in the murder mystery Rehearsal for Murder, which was portrayed beautifully by Reservoir High School. The story is hatched when Alex takes the listener on a series of flashbacks recalling the events leading up to his fiancee's death.
