Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School (B-CC) is actively seeking to have Michelle Obama as their commencement speaker for the graduation ceremony scheduled for June 1, 2026. The students launched a social media campaign, starting in September, to invite the former first lady to speak at their graduation. The campaign gained significant attention, with a video featuring students cheering from the bleachers amassing over three million views. Michelle Obama responded to the campaign, expressing that her team is in touch with the school and working on something special, praising the students for their organization and initiative. The school’s vice president of the Student Government Association, Noah Grosberg, was inspired by Obama's documentary 'Becoming' and emphasized the students' hope that she will join them on graduation day. In addition to the high school news, other local updates include a court ruling on Catherine Hoggle’s competency to stand trial, a police search for a suspect involved in an assault on the Northwest Branch Trail, and discussions about potential boundary changes affecting Wootton High School. The community also engaged in various events and contests, highlighting local achievements and initiatives.
