Virginia Distinguished Purple Star School for Supporting Military Connected Students

Rachel Carson is Recognized as a Virginia Distinguished Purple Star School

Rachel Carson Middle School has been named a Virginia Distinguished Purple Star School for its exceptional support of military-connected students and their families. We are thrilled that the school has received this prestigious, three-year designation from the Virginia Council on the Educational Opportunity for Military Children.

This honor recognizes Carson’s commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive environment, reflecting FCPS’s dedication to ensuring safety and belonging for every student. Congratulations to the Carson community on this outstanding achievement!

We would like to especially thank Ms. Miles and Ms. Chustz, for spearheading this effort and ensuring our staff met all required criteria to compete for this recognition!

November is National Family Engagement Month! This month is a time to celebrate and recognize families as a child’s first and most important teacher and partners in learning. Strong family-school partnerships have a lasting impact on student success.
