A Note from Dr. Goodloe:

Dear Chantilly Charger Community,

Get ready to feel the Charger spirit! This week has been absolutely buzzing with energy here at Chantilly, highlighted by the inspiring teamwork of our Special Olympics Unified basketball game and the positive vibes of our schoolwide Wellness Fair. And the excitement keeps rolling with our upcoming Best Buddies walk tomorrow, a fantastic opportunity to connect and celebrate inclusion. We also will kick off our Class of 2025 athlete recognitions with Softball Senior Night tonight. Every single one of you contributes to this incredible energy, making our Charger community a place where we all shine and thrive together!

Charger Collaboration Celebrated

Earlier this week our Chantilly Academy Cosmetology students were the Glam Squad for our Day Prom attendees in our Chantilly Abilities Program! Read their story 

Care in our Community

Chantilly High School student Om Desai recently exemplified the power of community connection. When community member Elizabeth Mulenga's car broke down near the school, Om, drawing on skills from Chantilly's Auto Technology program, selflessly stepped in to help. He quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue, purchasing and replacing the necessary part on the spot. Elizabeth shared that Om's assistance not only fixed her car but also significantly uplifted her during a challenging time. Impressed by his expertise, she commended the Auto Technology program for equipping students to positively impact lives beyond the classroom, expressing her gratitude and future support.

FCPS Students Take a Big STEP Towards Employment

FCPS is proud to showcase the Secondary Transition to Employment Program (STEP), specially designed for students with IEPs who are ages 18-22 seeking to develop employability and independent living skills. The STEP programs prepares students with disabilities for life after high school through a variety of work-based learning activities to include community work experiences, paid and non-paid internships, community instruction, and travel training opportunities.  Click here to see more about the program.
