Potomac students implicated in grade-changing start group to fight peer pressure

Two Potomac high school students who were implicated last winter in a scheme to change grades by hacking into school computers have started a student group devoted to combating the ill effects of peer pressure.
The two students, who are seniors at Winston Churchill High School in Potomac, unveiled the group during the school’s morning announcements last week, according to several students and parents at the school. In the announcement, the two students expressed sorrow for their actions, although they did not go into specifics.
The school system discovered in January that at least eight Churchill students improperly accessed an online grading system and tampered with their own grades.
