Mary Laird, Amy Armstrong, Sarah Elliott and six other Dulaney High School students skipped Spanish class Monday to announce they were taking Chinese.
It was with Principal Kyle Patkowski?s approval, part of the first day of school and a media gathering including state Schools Superintendent Nancy Grasmick, Baltimore County Superintendent Joe Hairston, Maryland first lady Kendel Ehrlich, a 1979 Dulaney graduate, and Salvatore Zumbo, the foreign language chairman at Towson University. The event also served as new Mandarin instructor Wei Min Hu?s introduction to American high school education. She?ll teach 18 seniors this fall at Dulaney taking part in the first Chinese-language course ever offered in Baltimore County.
