On November 17th, 11 students traveled over to Edison High School to attend the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) event. These institutions of higher education in the US were established before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was an amazing experience and one of our students was accepted into Morris College on the spot! Our Career Center has also hosted speakers from Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), and Adult Community Education (ACE). Please reach out to your child's school counselor for more information about these programs. We want to ensure that all students have a post-secondary plan in place, whether it be college, work, military, or an apprenticeship. |
Twenty-six students took a field trip to the Workforce Innovation Skills Hub (WISH) on Monday, November 20th. This incredible community resource is helping our students develop workplace readiness skills and assisting with finding jobs. Our students were there to investigate a career with the Steamfitters Union and our math teacher, Ms. Robinson, is helping our seniors with the necessary math preparation to complete the application. To find out more information about all the services, WISH offers please visit their website. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/familyservices/employment-and-training/wish

Bryant celebrated the academic achievement of its students at an Awards Assembly right before Thanksgiving break. Bryant students are some of the hardest working, committed, and dedicated students in FCPS. In addition, each teacher recognized individual students who go above and beyond in their attendance, behavior, and grades. Bryant takes immense pride in our hardworking students who put forth effort everyday to improve their future selves and lives. Many of our students are balancing school, work and/or parenting and are an inspiration to all.
