Justice High School’s name honors three pioneers in Civil Rights: Thurgood Marshall, Louis Mendez, and Barbara Rose Johns. On December 16, a new statue of Barbara Rose Johns, a Virginia teen civil rights leader, was unveiled in the U.S. Capitol as one of Virginia’s two representations in the National Statuary Hall Collection.
At just 16 years old, Barbara Rose Johns organized a student walkout in 1951 at R.R. Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia to protest the unequal and unsafe conditions faced by Black students. Her leadership helped prompt a lawsuit that became one of the key cases the Supreme Court reviewed in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision that ended legal school segregation. Justice High School is honored to carry her namesake.

FCPS Academy Presentations for Multilingual Learners
   Prior to Winter Break, Justice HS teachers Patty Shawish and Becky Corallo collaborated with the various FCPS Academy programs throughout the district to provide two days of informative sessions. Students had the opportunity to meet with Academy counselors, hear presentations of their programs, learn about the process to apply for an Academy, and the certifications students can achieve through these programs. Counselors did a great job sharing the benefits of the programs and impact on career paths.
Senior Class Meeting
 Prior to Winter Break, senior class officers and staff class sponsors led an informational meeting for the Class of 2026. This meeting reviewed important dates such as graduation, the senior trip, exam week and more. Seniors also had the opportunity to provide feedback on where they would like to go for their trip as well as their ideas for the prom theme. College and Career counselor Ms. Anderson joined and shared information on scholarships and reminders about transcripts.
Best Buddies!
 Prior to Winter Break, the Best Buddies program at Justice HS, a program that creates friendships among students, celebrated the last day before break with a winter party during the Advisory block. Students got to enjoy games, coloring, sweet treats and decoration making.

Winter Resources for Families
A list of resources has been compiled for students and families in case they or someone they know needs assistance while schools are closed for winter break. Please visit FCPS’ winter resources page for information on academic support, mental health support, and county resources related to food, clothing, housing, and other needs.
Even If School Is Closed, Learning Can Continue!
We encourage students to take advantage of fun learning opportunities during the upcoming winter break and on snow days. Consider these winter activities to blend education and play at home.
January is National Mentoring Month
Imagine a world where young people feel empowered, encouraged, and understood. Mentors can make that world a reality by helping young people find and follow their passions, excel in school, and thrive wherever they are.Learn more about Mentoring Month.
Research has shown that young people with at least one trusted mentor are less likely to skip school, less likely to use illegal drugs or drink alcohol, and more prepared to enter college or the workforce. Yet one in three children lack a mentor.
All it takes is one person to serve as a trusted adult to help change a young person’s path in life. Mentors provide attention, support, and enrichment, and help connect their mentees to resources that may help them on their journey in life.
The FCPS MentorWorks program matches mentors with students in schools near where they live or work. They meet for at least 30 minutes a week. Learn more about how to become a mentor for an FCPS student. Contact Martha Macdonald, mentoring specialist, for additional information at mmacdonald@fcps.edu.

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse
FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.
What can families do?
- Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink.
- Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success.
- Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage.
- Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors.
- Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”
Get more information on opioid awareness.

Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors’ services at no cost, including weekly live online classes; on-demand 24/7 chat tutoring; essay editing; and study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests. Learn more about online tutoring with Varsity Tutors.
No-Cost Mental Online Therapy for All High School Students
Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? Do they seem withdrawn or uninterested in their usual hobbies?
Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.
Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health
Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:
- Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
- Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
- Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
- Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
- A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
- Alcohol or drug use.
- Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family.
- Thoughts of harming themselves or others.
If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness.
If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.
