Annandale Students, Parents and Community:
I am proud to announce that Annandale High School is one of nine schools across the Commonwealth to receive recognition as a Special Olympics National Unified Champion School for its outstanding commitment to inclusion and the promotion of unified sports and leadership. This recognition is awarded to schools that meet rigorous standards of excellence set by a national panel of leaders from Special Olympics and the education community.
To achieve this distinction, Annandale High School demonstrated its dedication to fostering an inclusive school environment by fulfilling 10 standards of excellence. These standards emphasize key activities such as:
-
Special Olympics Unified Sports®, where students with and without disabilities train and compete together as teammates.
-
Inclusive youth leadership, promoting student voices and encouraging collaboration across diverse student groups.
-
Whole school engagement, ensuring that the entire school community actively participates in creating an inclusive culture.
As a National Unified Champion School, Annandale High School joins a select group of schools across the country recognized for their excellence in promoting inclusion through Special Olympics Unified Sports, leadership, and community engagement.
Check out our FanQuest video to see how our Annandale Special Olympics team embodies this spirit of unity and inclusion in action.
