Looks like Meade will join the ranks of other MD high schools (like Joppatowne north of Baltimore) to start training the next generation of homeland security specialists.
A signature is a school-within-a-school with a specialized focus. Meade's is the first of several signature programs the school system plans to roll out in the county's middle and high schools over the next few years.
Each signature will have a theme chosen by the school community. Homeland security was chosen for Meade because of the school's location on the post and the influx of students expected from the upcoming Base Realignment and Closure, or BRAC, process.

Perhaps this one "doesn't count" since it IS located on Fort Meade (home of the NSA!) and I'm sure Meade HS is the only one in the country featuring cryptologist guest lecturers!! One could almost argue this is opportunistic ... let's see how popular it is with the kids before I pass too harsh of a judgement.
