The Wildcat Weekly - March 15, 2026

 

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

Last week was a truly special one in the Wildcat Nation, filled with moments that reminded us what makes Centreville High School such an extraordinary community. Our Inclusion Revolution Spirit Week brought our school together in powerful ways, highlighted by a school-wide pep rally in support of our Unified Basketball Team. The excitement and pride carried into Thursday evening’s FanQuest event, where our Unified Athletes were joined by teams from Chantilly, Robinson, and Westfield. It was incredible to see our students rally around our athletes and celebrate the spirit of inclusion and teamwork.

Our week concluded with another remarkable celebration as the South Asian Student Association hosted International Night. The evening showcased beautiful cultural attire, vibrant performances, and the rich traditions that make up our diverse community. International Night continues to be one of the most spectacular events of the year, and together with our Inclusion Revolution activities, it demonstrates how powerful it is when our community comes together to celebrate acceptance, belonging, and pride in who we are.

While these events highlight the very best of Centreville, it is important that the values they represent do not end when the week concludes. Acceptance, tolerance, and belonging are ideals we must cultivate continuously within our community. Over the last couple of months, I have been made aware of several instances in which students have spread misinformation or spoken derogatorily about one another. This is not the culture we strive to build at Centreville High School, nor is it behavior we will accept in our community.

As we have seen in our country and across the world, acts of hate and division only weaken our communities. Instead, I ask our students to be leaders in spreading kindness, belonging, acceptance, and understanding. Before speaking about another student, take a moment to consider how it would feel if those same words were said about you, about a friend, a sibling, or someone you care about. I also ask our families to partner with us by having conversations at home about the impact our words and actions have on others.

One of our continued areas of focus as a school is cultivating a positive school climate. This means building strong relationships with one another, offering support when it is needed, and consistently demonstrating kindness and respect in our daily interactions. I am confident that by working together we can ensure that the spirit of Inclusion Revolution Week is not limited to one week, but instead becomes a lasting part of who we are every day in the Wildcat Nation.
