Congratulations...
To the Falls Church High School website and website administrator Ms. Angel Mason. The Falls Church High School website was recognized as 'Best of the Web' for 2021!
The Best of the Web Awards annually recognizes three elementary schools, one middle school, one secondary or high school, and one special center or academy.
Members of the central office web team and one of the FCPS photographers surprised Ms. Mason at a recent faculty meeting, where she was presented with a certificate and a crystal glass trophy, in front of the entire school staff. At the monthly school curator's webchat, the Falls Church website was proudly displayed and Ms. Mason was formally recognized in front of many of her FCPS school curator colleagues.

Region 2 Parent Information Event
If you or your family earned less than $58,000 in 2021, you may qualify for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program’s free income tax preparation!
The VITA Program is a national program sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service to help families maximize their tax returns and avoid the fees businesses charge to prepare taxes. Northern Virginia Creating Assets, Savings and Hope (CASH) is a coalition of community partners who support the VITA sites in Northern Virginia. For 15 years the Fairfax County Department of Family Services has provided operational support to the coalition partners assisting about 4,000 families to receive a combined average refund total of $6 million each year.
In-person VITA services are available at six sites in Northern Virginia by appointment only. Some services may also be available virtually. Appointments for all NVACASH Tax Preparations sites can be made online, by email, or by phone at 703-533-5702 (please leave a message). Find more information.
