Our Monthly School Board News
Message from Ilryong Moon
As we enter the exciting graduation season, it’s a time of celebration and accomplishment for our students across Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). This year, we are thrilled to recognize the achievements of over 15,000 graduating seniors. Did you know that FCPS boasts a graduation rate of nearly 94%? This remarkable milestone reflects the hard work and dedication of our students, educators, and families.
As I look at our graduating seniors, I feel an immense sense of pride and joy. These young individuals have not only excelled academically but have also demonstrated resilience, creativity, and a commitment to their communities. Many of our graduates have balanced rigorous coursework with extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, volunteer work, or learning English as a second language. Among them are future scientists, artists, engineers, and leaders who are ready to make their mark on the world.
I am continually inspired by the stories of our students overcoming challenges and achieving their goals. Whether it’s the student who started a community garden, the athlete who led their team to victory, or the artist whose work moved us all, each graduate has a unique and powerful story. Their journeys remind us of the incredible potential within every young person.
Let's join together in celebrating the Class of 2024. As they move on to the next chapter of their lives—whether that is a potential first generation college attendee, a professional career, military service or another path—I am confident that all our students will continue to shine brightly. Let’s celebrate with pride, joy, and excitement as we wish them all the best in their future endeavors!
All the best,
Ilryong Moon
