HCPSS has several buildings and offices in Howard County for employees and services that are considered part of Central Office. Examples of central office buildings that are home to several HCPSS offices include the Logistics Center, Staff Development Center, the Old Cedar Lane school and the Old Bushy Park school, among others.
