Sequoyah Elementary School

17301 Bowie Mill Road
301-840-5335

Mission:

Sequoyah students will have the social emotional, creative problem solving and academic skills to be successful in middle school.

Vision:

At Sequoyah, we inspire learning by providing a safe, inclusive environment with differentiated and engaging instruction for each and every student, each and every day.

About Us:

Sequoyah Elementary was built in 1990 and sits on 10 acres of land between Bowie Mill Road and Muncaster Mill Road in Derwood, Maryland. We serve approximately 400 students in grades K-5.

One interesting fact is that our Sequoyah Elementary School was the first school in Montgomery County named for a Native American. Sequoyah was famous for creating a way of writing that his people, the Cherokee were able to learn, just like we are learning to read and write.

We are proud to be part of the Magruder cluster. When our students leave us, they go on to Redland Middle School and Magruder High School. Other schools in this cluster are Shady Grove Middle School, Cashell Elementary, Candlewood Elementary, Mill Creek Towne Elementary, Resnick Elementeary, and Flower Hill Elementary.

Sequoyah is a community of learners who are dedicated to the support and development of productive citizens. We will foster lifelong learners in a respectful environment that is conducive to positive change, collaboration, communication, and acceptance.
