About This Program
James McHenry School is a community school in Southwest Baltimore known for its superb teaching staff and a tight-knit community of dedicated parents and faculty members. James McHenry is one of five schools in the collaborative 100% Project, and the school’s dedicated faculty prioritizes community engagement, school culture and rigorous yet rewarding instruction.
In 2017, a team of more than 1,500 volunteers from Under Armour revamped the school’s gymnasium, which included installing new basketball hoops, a new floor, a scoreboard and more. Volunteers also repainted the walls and school logo. Other renovations included revamping the cafeteria, auditorium, hallways and courtyard. Volunteers prepared new books for each student to take home and keep, revitalized the school’s food pantry and gave the teachers’ lounge a needed upgrade.
