NSA Arundel High School

Arundel High School: When Snowden the 29-year-old intelligence contractor whose leak of top-secret documents has exposed sweeping government surveillance programs went to Arundel High School, the agency regularly sent employees from its nearby black-glass headquarters to tutor struggling math students, according to Times Colonist. And when Snowden joined friends in his late teens to edit a website built around a shared interest in Japanese animation, they chartered the venture from an apartment in military housing at Fort George G. Meade, the installation that houses the NSA centre dubbed the Puzzle Palace and calls itself the "nation's pre-eminent centre for information, intelligence and cyber." FORT MEADE, Md. - In the suburbs edged by woods midway between Baltimore and Washington, residents long joked that the government spy shop next door was so ultra-secretive its initials stood for "No Such Agency." But when Edward Snowden grew up here, the National Security Agency's looming presence was both a very visible and accepted part of everyday life. When Snowden went on to Anne Arundel Community College in the spring of 1999 after leaving high school halfway through his sophomore year, he arrived on a campus developing a specialty in cybersecurity training for future employees of the NSA and Department of Defence, though, according to the records, he never took such a class.
