Message from Mr. Greata

We have several important thank-yous to share this week, starting with a huge expression of gratitude to our entire community for taking the time to complete the Impact Aid form. I am pleased to share that we now have the highest online completion rate of any high school in Fairfax County—an incredible achievement. Thank you for supporting our school and the many families who directly benefit from your efforts.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the wonderfully generous organization Asha Jyothi, whose support has made it possible for our orchestra to present the Music: Not Impossible technology at the upcoming Virginia Music Educators Association (VMEA) Conference this Friday. Their generosity not only enhances opportunities for our own students, but also brings broader awareness to this important accessibility tool—one that has the potential to impact thousands of students across the Commonwealth.

This past week, several of our students attended the HBCU College Fair at Edison High School. Thank you to Darlene Sheppard, Christine Lieb-Mosley, and Shameka Brantley for organizing and accompanying our students, and congratulations to Jaden Nicholson for receiving on-site admission to the University of the District of Columbia! Well done!

Congratulations as well to our boys volleyball team, who won their state quarterfinal match this past Saturday. The energy in the gym was incredible! We look forward to cheering them on as they compete in the state semifinal match this Tuesday at 5:00 PM, right here at Carter G. Woodson High School. With a victory, they will advance to the state championship match on Saturday at Virginia State University.

Looking ahead, we have our PTO meeting on Tuesday, November 18, at 7:00 PM, which will be held virtually. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Grocery Gift Card Drive. If you’d still like to participate, please visit this link.
