Thank you @achssocstudies for planning this opportunity for our Titans!
In partnership with the Alexandria Office of Registration and Voting, all 12th grade @alexcitytitans government students recently participated in a mock election to learn more about voting in the City of Alexandria. 🗳️ 🇺🇸 #ACPSIsTheBest

Special day for this @GWMSPrexies @ACPSk12 student! ;) Thank you @VMHCeducation for providing the opportunity to visit the General Assembly, and thank you @AdamEbbin and @EBPforVA for supporting our students!
Congratulations to Sophie from George Washington Middle School for winning Virginia’s History Day competition. Her project is about the 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In, led by Samuel Tucker, a civil rights activist who pushed Alexandria to address racial injustice.

Discouraging but not surprising. We must commit time and resources to high-quality history and civics education. Our students deserve it; our society depends on it.
National test scores showed a drop in students’ knowledge of U.S. history and civics, a sign that the pandemic damaged performance in nearly every academic area. But the latest results continue a nearly decade-long plunge as reading and math take priority.
