We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Since its inception in 2010, the EGATE program has recognized 133 public schools across Maryland for their dedication to identifying and fostering gifted learners. To achieve the designation, schools undergo a rigorous 15-month documentation process, demonstrating excellence in student identification, curriculum and instruction, professional development, and program management. The program highlights the effort required to develop robust gifted education initiatives that meet state standards.
The recognized schools will be honored at an awards ceremony on February 22 at Severn Run High School in Severn. More information on gifted and talented education programs is available through the Maryland State Department of Education.
