For the second year in a row, Cosmetology 2 students opened their salon to help students from Chantilly High School's Cat B program get ready for Day Prom. Our Cosmetology students did hair, makeup, and nails to make sure their peers looked and felt glamorous for their big event at the Crystal View. Both our Cosmetology 2 students and their clients were smiling from ear-to-ear as they shared this special time together. Click here to read an FCPS feature about this wonderful partnership!
With State Boards just a few weeks away, this collaboration also gave our Cosmetology 2 students an opportunity to practice their skills. We are wishing all of our future licensed cosmetologists the best of luck as they prepare for their exams!

 Collaboration at it's finest! Students from our Systems Tech class outfitted our Auto Tech shop's wheel alignment machine with a new 42" screen.
 PT/OT 2 students visited Marymount University's Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program this week.
 Engineering students continue to rock out on their Music for Life project building their own electric guitars. Many of the guitars are nearing completion - stay tuned to see more finished products!
As we begin the 4th quarter, we recognize that the end of the school year is a very busy time. We ask that students please communicate with their Academy teachers about testing, internships, and other activities that might impact attendance.
-
AP/IB Testing: If you will be missing an Academy class due to AP or IB testing, please ask your Academy teacher for a copy of the AP/IB test form. Complete this form and turn it in to the Academy Office by Monday, April 28th.
-
Senior Internships: If you are participating in a senior internship program through your base school (ex: Charging Forward, Finish Strong), please be sure to communicate your plans to your Academy teachers to ensure that you meet all course requirements prior to the start of your internship.
