“We are looking forward to celebrating the Class of 2021 at in-person graduation ceremonies next week,” FCPS Superintendent Dr. Terry Alban said. “When I met with graduates at each high school, they shared valuable feedback with me about their experiences with FCPS. I know they will make us proud.”
