Career Experiences Kicking Off

Fairfax Academy Community,

We are excited to host our annual Career Experience Expo this Wednesday. We know that there can be a lot of questions. Please do not hesitate to call us at 703-219-2226 or email myself (amcook@fcps.edu), Ms. Orr (kmorr@fcps.edu), or Ms. Tarvid (starvid@fcps.edu) with any questions or concerns.
