All Night Grad Party
Click here to get your All Night Grad Party ticket! Prices will increase May 1. This is a chance for your graduate to celebrate in style at the beautiful St. James while you relax at home, knowing your student is safely off the roads and in a drug and alcohol free setting.
We are also raffling off VIP seats to graduation. 10 sets of 8 seats will be raffled off–click here to buy your chance(s) to win!
Questions? Email Kirsten at woodsonangp@gmail.com.
The All Night Grad Party Needs Your Help!
Sign up here to volunteer at the all night grad party. It’s a Cavalier tradition that freshman, sophomore, and junior parents help out with the event to “pay it forward” for when their own kids are celebrating. It’s a really fun night and we provide free food, drinks, and COFFEE all night! If you can’t stay up all night, there are still roles you can help with.

Purple Up! Day - April 9th
To show our support for all our military-connected families, we are inviting all Fairfax County students, families, employees, and community members to “Purple Up!” on Wednesday, April 9, for military children.
Why purple? Purple symbolizes all branches of the military as a combination of Army green, Marine Corps red, and Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force and Space Force blue.

Congratulations to the Woodson winter guard as the GOLD Medalists in their class at the Atlantic Indoor Association Winter Guard Championships this past Saturday at the Hampton Coliseum!

We will be having tryouts for the fall colorguard marching band season soon for the 25-26 school year!
