  • #FCPSTeacherTuesday "I grew up as a military child, which meant my environment was always changing. One of the few constants in my life was school. I was the teacher’s pet, driven by a desire to succeed and make school feel like a stable, safe place. Over time, school became my home away from home, and it was this experience that inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. My goal is to create a classroom where students feel as supported and valued as I did. I want them to know that they can be true to themselves, follow their dreams, and believe in their potential. Above all, I am dedicated to helping them become the best version of themselves."

  • 👟🏥 You might not think about schools needing athletic trainers — but they’re an essential part of the #FCPSfam. From injury prevention to emergency care, our Certified Athletic Trainers play a critical role in keeping student-athletes safe, healthy, and ready to perform. During National Athletic Training Month, we’re celebrating the 49 dedicated FCPS athletic trainers who, just last school year: 🩹 Treated 22,000+ injuries ⛹️ Supported 9,808 students across 88,756 encounters 💪 Provided 197,229 therapeutic treatments (strengthening/conditioning, range of motion, therapeutic modalities, wound care) Their work often happens behind the scenes — but their impact is felt every day on and off the fields and courts.
