Student Insights Matter!
April 24, 2026
Happy Friday Fairfax!
Feedback Matters
We were delighted to host the City of Fairfax School Board student panel. Our lions are leading the way with honest and innovative feedback on ways to continue to improve facilities, instruction, and community connection.
Celebrating Academic Achievement
This week, we took time to recognize the dedication and excellence of our students in the Social Studies and World Language departments. Seeing our students honored for their commitment to understanding our history, our world, and the diverse languages that connect us is always a highlight of my year.
Building Future Opportunities
Our recent Auto Tech Council meeting was a true "meeting of the minds," bringing together industry experts and educators to ensure we are providing the most robust, relevant, and exciting opportunities for our students in the automotive technology pathway. We are energized by the roadmap we’ve developed to keep Fairfax High at the forefront of career and technical education.
The Heartbeat of Fairfax High
I want to take a moment to extend a profound, heartfelt thank you to our Administrative Professionals - our Office Assistants and Administrative Assistants. They are, without a doubt, the heartbeat of this school. Their tireless work, grace under pressure, and commitment to our students and staff make everything else we do possible. Thank you for all that you do behind the scenes to keep our community running seamlessly.
Music in the City
Finally, our Band, Choir, and Orchestra are traveling to New York City! I know they are busy seeing the sights and representing Fairfax High with talent and pride. We cannot wait to hear all about their experiences when they return.
Thank you all for your continued support of our students and our school community. Have a wonderful weekend.
