Today, ACPS will be launching a process to redefine the high school experience for our future generations of Alexandria students. Before we look at the buildings, space and land acquisitions needed to resolve our capacity issues, we are asking our students, staff and community to think big and share their vision for the profile of a future Alexandrian graduate. If we do this right, this has the chance to impact our city.
While no school district can be completely immune from acts of violence, we would like to reassure you that ACPS is actively working on a daily basis to ensure our schools are as safe as they possibly can be.
