A Note From Principal Eck


 

Dear Justice Families,

       We had a great commencement ceremony for our graduating seniors on Friday, June 7th at Eagle Bank. Some highlights included:

  • 313 out of 432 of our seniors are first in family to attend college.
  • Approximately 1/3 of our seniors are first in family to graduate from high school.
  • 68 of our graduating seniors qualified to be full IB diploma candidates.
  • Our seniors were awarded $5 million dollars in local and national college scholarships.
  • Dr. Scott Brabrand, Superintended of Fairfax County Public Schools, was our guest speaker.
  • We had 78 honor graduates. These students achieved a 4.0 or better grade point average during their 4 years at Justice High School.

     This was truly a celebration of learning. We look forward to hearing all of the great things the class of 2019 will accomplish.
