Richard Montgomery High School is a Montgomery County, Maryland public school located in Rockville, Maryland. It is named for Richard Montgomery, an American General who died while attempting to capture the British-held (now Canadian) city of Quebec. The school is either usually referred to by its full name or by the acronym "RM" in everyday parlance by its students or alumni, presumably because shortening it to Montgomery would be too vague, and also perhaps to distinguish it from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring.

Academics

The school houses Montgomery County's first International Baccalaureate program, which attracts top students from the entire county. Regular involvement in National Forensics League, musicals, plays, and choral singing have helped distinguish Richard Montgomery as a top school for the dramatic arts.
