Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

The excitement of the end of the school year continues to build across the Wildcat Nation. From postseason competition in our spring sports programs, to culminating concerts and performances, to the completion of our initial SOL and AP testing sessions, there is so much happening throughout our community. I want to congratulate all of our teams and student-athletes who continue to advance into District and Regional competition. Your hard work, dedication, and teamwork continue to make us proud. I also want to recognize all of our students who have completed SOL and AP testing thus far, as well as those who still have assessments ahead. Please continue to remain focused and vigilant in your preparation, and know that our staff is here to encourage and support you every step of the way.

While there is certainly much to celebrate, there is still important work to be done. As we near the end of the school year, students continue to demonstrate their learning through culminating projects, presentations, performances, and preparation for final exams. I encourage all students to continue giving their very best effort through the final day of the school year. The finish line is in sight, but how we finish matters. Information regarding final exams and upcoming end-of-year events is included below, and I encourage students and families to review those details carefully as we prepare for a successful conclusion to the year.

For students and families returning for the 2026–2027 school year, I also want to provide some early information regarding the new cell phone policy that will be implemented across Virginia schools. Under new Virginia law, schools are required to operate as “bell-to-bell” phone-free environments. This means students must have their cell phones stored away in their backpacks—not on their person—for the entirety of the school day.Students will also no longer be permitted to access their phones during lunch periods. We understand this represents a significant adjustment, and we will continue working closely with students and families to support a smooth transition. Additional information regarding this policy can be found in the “Important Information from FCPS” section of this newsletter.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support as we work together to finish the school year strong.

Go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Choir Pops Concert – A Spectacular Final Performance:Last week, the CVHS Choral Department brought the house down with its final concert of the year, the Choir Pops Concert! Audiences enjoyed an incredible lineup of pop and musical theatre favorites spanning from the 1950s to today. The evening was especially meaningful as many of our talented seniors took the stage for solos and small group performances, sharing their voices and passion one final time as Wildcats. Congratulations to all of our choir students and directors on a memorable and inspiring performance!

Bandemonium – Music Under the Stars: Centreville High School’s Wildcat Band hosted the 5th Annual Bandemonium, a fantastic outdoor music festival celebrating the incredible talents of our student performers! The event featured performances from all band ensembles along with orchestra, choir, and theatre students, creating an unforgettable evening of entertainment and community spirit. Families also enjoyed food trucks, face painting, pawprint tattoos, and other fun activities for all ages. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Bandemonium such a wonderful celebration of the arts at CVHS!

Important Information from FCPS

Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Update:On Friday, May 8, Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid provided an update on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Budget. FCPS receives the majority of its funding from the Fairfax County Government and the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

The Fairfax County Government recently adopted its FY 2027 Budget, and at the funding levels provided, there is currently a $28 million budget gap. In addition, the state budget has not been finalized. At last Thursday's School Board meeting, the superintendent proposed adjustments that would balance the FCPS budget. Read Dr. Reid’s message to the community for more information on the budget process and budget priorities .

New Cellphone Policy Starts July 1:On Thursday, May 7, the Fairfax County School Board approved changes to the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) . The approved changes include updated guidance for cellphone possession and use, to align the FCPS cellphone policy with Senate Bill 108 . This new Virginia law goes into effect on July 1 and states that all schools in the Commonwealth must follow a “bell-to-bell” phone-free policy.

This means that starting July 1, 2026, across all grade levels at FCPS, student cellphones, phone accessories, and all smart devices (including watches that serve a dual purpose, such as smart watches, as well as earbuds, headsets, smart glasses, and other other items connected to the internet) must be off and personally stored (i.e., put away in backpacks) for the duration of the school day — thus, no cellphones from bell to bell. High school students will no longer be able to use cellphones and personal devices during lunchtime.More details are available on the FCPS Cellphone Policy webpage . 

Other SR&R Changes for the 2026-27 School Year:Visit the FCPS website or the School Board agenda to learn about additional updates, including:

• Added guidance and procedures for in-school and out-of-school suspensions and discipline investigations, including supports for students with disabilities and multilingual learners. 
• Expanded guidance and standardized disciplinary procedures (“Universal Grade Matrices”) related to harassment, hate speech, discriminatory behavior, and Title IX reporting requirements.
• Responses to incidents involving intimate images, fighting, physical aggression, object throwing, and drug policy violations.

Student Bus Passes Offer Free Transportation:All Fairfax County middle and high school students can get a Student Bus Pass SmarTrip card to ride the Fairfax Connector and Fairfax CUE buses for free! With the pass, fares are free from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, all year. Learn more about the Student Pass and access the application, which can be returned to the front office.

Finish the School Year With Strong Attendance!:As we enter the final weeks of the school year, Fairfax County Public Schools appreciates your continued partnership in supporting your child’s success. Regular attendance plays an important role in helping students stay engaged in learning, maintain connections with their teachers and peers, and finish the school year strong. 

Attending school consistently also helps students build valuable habits such as responsibility, perseverance, and daily routines that support success both in and out of the classroom.

If your child needs to miss school, please remember to report the absence. Full-day absences can be reported in ParentVUE . Families may also report absences by calling the school attendance line or emailing the school-designated attendance address.

If your child is experiencing challenges that are affecting attendance, we are here to help. Please contact your child’s school so staff can partner with you to provide support and resources. Learn more about attendance resources . 

Información importante

Actualización del presupuesto para el año fiscal 2027:El viernes 8 de mayo, la superintendente, la Dra. Michelle Reid, ofreció una actualización sobre el presupuesto para el año fiscal (AF) 2027. Las FCPS reciben la mayor parte de sus fondos del Gobierno del Condado de Fairfax y de la Mancomunidad de Virginia.

El Gobierno del Condado de Fairfax aprobó recientemente su presupuesto para el AF 2027 y, con los niveles de financiación asignados, existe actualmente un déficit presupuestario de 28 millones de dólares. Además, el presupuesto estatal aún no se ha finalizado. En la reunión de la Junta Escolar celebrada el pasado jueves, la superintendente propuso una serie de ajustes destinados a equilibrar el presupuesto de las FCPS. Lea el mensaje de la Dra. Reid a la comunidad para obtener más información sobre el proceso presupuestario y las prioridades del presupuesto .

La nueva política sobre teléfonos celulares entra en vigor el 1 de julio:El jueves 7 de mayo, la Junta Escolar del Condado de Fairfax aprobó cambios en el documento de Derechos y Responsabilidades de los Estudiantes (SR&R) de las FCPS . Los cambios aprobados incluyen directrices actualizadas sobre la tenencia y el uso de teléfonos celulares, con el fin de alinear la política de teléfonos celulares de las FCPS con el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 108 . Esta nueva ley de Virginia entra en vigor el 1 de julio y establece que todas las escuelas de la Mancomunidad deben aplicar una política de prohibición de teléfonos desde el inicio hasta el final de la jornada escolar ("bell-to-bell").

Esto significa que, a partir del 1 de julio de 2026, en todos los niveles educativos de las FCPS, los teléfonos celulares de los estudiantes, sus accesorios y todos los dispositivos inteligentes (incluyendo los relojes con doble funcionalidad —como los relojes inteligentes—, así como los auriculares, cascos, gafas inteligentes y cualquier otro artículo conectado a Internet) deberán permanecer apagados y guardados personalmente (es decir, dentro de las mochilas) durante toda la jornada escolar; por lo tanto, no se permitirán teléfonos celulares desde el inicio hasta el final de las clases. Los estudiantes de secundaria ya no podrán utilizar teléfonos celulares ni dispositivos personales durante la hora del almuerzo.Hay más detalles disponibles en la página web de la Política de Teléfonos Celulares de las FCPS .

Otros cambios en el SR&R para el año escolar 2026-27:Visite el sitio web de las FCPS o consulte la agenda de la Junta Escolar para conocer otras actualizaciones adicionales, entre las que se incluyen:

• Directrices y procedimientos añadidos para las suspensiones dentro y fuera del recinto escolar, así como para las investigaciones disciplinarias, incluyendo medidas de apoyo para estudiantes con discapacidades y para estudiantes multilingües.
• Directrices ampliadas y procedimientos disciplinarios estandarizados (“Matrices de Graduación Universales”) relacionados con el acoso, el discurso de odio, el comportamiento discriminatorio y los requisitos de notificación bajo el Título IX.
• Respuestas a incidentes que impliquen imágenes íntimas, peleas, agresiones físicas, lanzamiento de objetos e infracciones de la política sobre drogas.

Los Pases de Autobús Estudiantiles Ofrecen Transporte Gratuito:Todos los estudiantes de escuelas media y secundaria del Condado de Fairfax pueden obtener una “Student Bus Pass SmarTrip” o Tarjeta Inteligente de Pasaje Estudiantil para transportarse en los autobuses de “Fairfax Connector” y Fairfax CUE, ¡gratis! Con el pase, los viajes son gratuitos entre las 5 a.m. y las 10 p.m., siete días a la semana, durante todo el año. Conozca más acerca del Student Pass o Pase Estudiantil, y cómo acceder a la solicitud del mismo, la cual puede ser entregada en la oficina principal de la escuela.

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

As we celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend, I would like to extend warm wishes to all of the mothers, grandmothers, guardians, and mother figures in our Wildcat community. Thank you for the countless ways you support, encourage, and care for our students each and every day. Your partnership and dedication play an essential role in the success of our students and the strength of our school community. I hope you have a wonderful and well-deserved day of celebration.

This past week, we proudly celebrated Staff Appreciation Week, and it served as a powerful reminder of just how fortunate we are to have such an incredible team here at Centreville High School. From our teachers and instructional assistants to our office staff, custodians, security team, bus drivers, counselors, cafeteria staff, administrators, and everyone in between, each member of our staff plays an essential role in making the Wildcat Nation what it is. Our staff works tirelessly every day to support students, families, and the broader community, often going above and beyond in ways that may not always be seen. The appreciation shown throughout the week was truly meaningful, and I hope we continue to foster that same gratitude and recognition every week and every day throughout the school year.

This week, I would also like to encourage all parents and guardians to join us for our PTSA meeting on May 12. The strong partnership between our school and families continues to be one of the greatest strengths of the Wildcat community, and we are eager to continue building upon that collaboration. As we begin planning for the future, we are looking for parent volunteers to help support the important work of our PTSA, including leadership opportunities for the 2026–2027 school year. Positions for PTSA President and Vice President will be open, and we encourage anyone interested in learning more or becoming involved to review the information included below. Your involvement, ideas, and support make a meaningful difference in the experiences we are able to provide for our students and staff.

Looking ahead, this edition of the Wildcat Weekly includes several important dates and updates as we move toward the conclusion of the school year. In particular, families should review the information regarding senior events and final exam schedules for both seniors and underclassmen. With just over a month remaining in the school year, now is the time for students to stay focused, seek support from teachers when needed, review assignments carefully, and begin preparing for culminating assessments and finals. Let’s continue working together to ensure a strong and successful finish to the school year.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support of Centreville High School.

Go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

As long as your child meets the age requirements listed above, they can be immunized at any time.

Immunization Events for FCPS Students:FCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will provide school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students at no out-of-pocket cost.

To support students appropriately and safely, families are asked to submit medical documentation to FNS from a U.S. licensed health care provider so we can tailor meals to each child’s needs. Learn more about the documentation required and the steps to develop a safe menu for students .

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

As we enter the month of May, the end of the school year is quickly approaching. This time of year always seems to accelerate, and there is much to both celebrate and accomplish in the weeks ahead. May is also a time of recognition and reflection, as we honor Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as well as Jewish American Heritage Month. At Centreville High School, we remain committed to fostering a community rooted in acceptance, belonging, and mutual respect. Taking time to acknowledge and celebrate these communities helps broaden our perspectives and strengthens the inclusive culture that defines the Wildcat Nation.

Last week, we began our SOL testing on a modified schedule, and I am pleased to share that the transition went smoothly. The adjusted schedule has allowed our students taking assessments to work in a focused and supportive environment, while also providing dedicated time for non-test takers to catch up on assignments and stay on track. As a reminder, for students who are arriving at 11:15 AM on testing days, please be sure to allow enough time to pass through our OpenGate security process before heading to class. We will continue with our modified schedule on Monday and Wednesday this week. For students preparing for AP exams, which begin this week, please review the important information included in the upcoming events section of this newsletter to ensure you are ready and set up for success.

This week, we proudly celebrate Staff Appreciation Week. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our incredible staff for their unwavering dedication, professionalism, and care for our students. Each day, our teachers, counselors, support staff, and administrators go above and beyond to create meaningful learning experiences, build relationships, and support the success and well-being of every student. Their commitment is the foundation of our school community, and the Wildcat Nation would not be what it is without their passion and hard work. I encourage our students and families to take a moment this week to share a note of appreciation or a kind word with a staff member who has made a difference.

Finally, I would like to encourage all parents and guardians to join us for our next PTSA meeting on May 12. Our strong partnership with families is essential to the continued success of Centreville High School, and we are always looking to grow that collaboration. We are currently seeking parent volunteers, and we will have openings for PTSA President and Vice President for the 2026–2027 school year. If you are interested in learning more or getting involved, please see the details below. Your voice and involvement truly make a difference.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we move through this exciting and important time of the school year.

Go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

One of our top priorities at Centreville High School is fostering a positive school climate where every student feels a strong sense of connectedness and belonging. This week was a wonderful reflection of that commitment. From our Wellness Week activities, including opportunities to relax, connect, and even enjoy alpacas during lunch, to our first-ever Wellness Choice Activity Day, our school was filled with energy and engagement. Students had the chance to participate in a wide range of activities, from bracelet making and creating summer bucket lists to showcasing their talents during our Talent Show. It was truly an incredible way for students and staff to come together in meaningful and unique ways.

We then closed out the week with a truly Monumental Night at our Junior/Senior Prom at Union Stage in Washington, D.C. Nearly 300 students came together to celebrate and create lasting memories. The evening was filled with dancing, games, an ice cream cart, and exciting giveaways. Thank you to all of our staff chaperones for their support, and a special thank you to Ms. Walker and Ms. Williams, our junior class sponsors, for their outstanding work behind the scenes to make this event such a success.

As we look ahead, we are entering an important stretch of the school year with upcoming SOL and AP assessments. We will begin with the Reading SOL on Thursday, April 30, and will operate on a modified schedule during testing days. Students scheduled to take SOLs must attend their assigned sessions and will receive specific testing information via their FCPS email (with details also shared with families); they should arrive on time with a fully charged Chromebook and charger, and buses will run on their normal schedule. Students not testing during this time will either report to school to work on academic tasks in assigned locations or may arrive by 11:15AM if completing work from home, depending on their transportation arrangements.

It is incredibly important that students give their very best effort on both SOL and AP assessments. SOLs are a graduation requirement, and AP exams provide valuable opportunities to earn college credit. Beyond that, these assessments reflect the collective work of our students, families, and staff, and help demonstrate Centreville High School’s academic progress and excellence to our broader community and the state.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us build a strong, connected, and supportive Wildcat community.

Go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

It was a truly delightful show, and the months of hard work, dedication, and collaboration were evident in every moment on stage.

A special highlight will be our Wellness Fair on Friday, April 24, when students will participate in a choice activity during ROAR designed to help them decompress and recharge.

Important Information from FCPS

April Statewide Election: No School for Students:There will be no school for students on Tuesday, April 21, for the Virginia statewide election. Student activities, athletic practices, and events may proceed as scheduled. FCPS will offer lunch and a snack at no cost to children aged 18 and under on April 21 at participating schools . The meals must be eaten on site. For more information, visit the FCPS Food and Nutrition Services webpage . 

Updates to 2026-27 School Year Calendar:The School Board voted to direct the superintendent to designate Veterans Day as a standard instructional day for the 2026-27 school year. Because this day was added, the 2026-27 school year will now end for students on Wednesday, June 16, 2027. Find additional information on BoardDocs . View the updated complete school year calendar on FCPS’ website. The last day of school for the current school year — Wednesday, June 17, 2026— has not changed. 

Support Your Children During Important Spring Assessments:Students will be participating in spring assessments based on their grade level and courses. This includes summative assessments like Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, which measure what a student knows, and progress assessments like Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests, which measure where they are in their learning. 

FCPS encourages all families to support their students in taking these tests. Virginia requires schools to test at least 95% of students on SOLs, so when families choose not to participate in testing, it can impact a school’s accreditation, accountability ratings, and ability to measure student progress accurately. Parents and caregivers can help their children perform their best on these tests by reminding them to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and the cell phone policy still applies during testing season. 

It is important that students attend school on scheduled testing dates. If you are aware of a conflict that may cause your student to miss a test, please notify us as soon as possible. Learn more about how to support your child and why test participation matters . 

Help FCPS Sustain Excellence: Make Your Voice Heard on the FY 2027 BudgetAbout 70% of the FCPS budget comes from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. There are several upcoming opportunities to provide feedback to the county on its budget before final adoption in May. This includes public budget hearings (April 14-16) and an online survey . Learn how the FCPS budget helps us sustain our excellence . 

Community Conversations: Share Your Thoughts With Dr. Reid:As a listening leader, connecting with community members across our school division is critical to FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid. Her Community Conversations are opportunities for you to share your thoughts and ask questions. Events will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) on: 

• Monday, April 20 , at Westgate Elementary School

Información importante

Las actividades, entrenamientos atléticos y eventos estudiantiles podrían realizarse tal y como están programados.

Debido a que se añadió este día, el año escolar 2026-27 finalizará ahora para los estudiantes el miércoles 16 de junio de 2027. Encuentre información adicional en BoardDocs . Consulte el calendario escolar completo y actualizado en el sitio web de FCPS. El último día de clases del año escolar actual —miércoles 17 de junio de 2026—no ha sufrido cambios.

Apoye a sus hijos durante las importantes evaluaciones de primavera

Los estudiantes participarán en evaluaciones de primavera basadas en su nivel de grado y sus cursos. Esto incluye evaluaciones sumativas, como las pruebas *Standards of Learning* (SOL), que miden lo que el estudiante sabe; y evaluaciones de progreso, como las pruebas *Measures of Academic Progress* (MAP), que miden en qué punto de su aprendizaje se encuentran.

FCPS alienta a todas las familias a apoyar a sus estudiantes durante la realización de estas pruebas. Virginia exige que las escuelas evalúen al menos al 95% de los estudiantes mediante las pruebas SOL; por lo tanto, cuando las familias deciden no participar en las evaluaciones, esto puede afectar la acreditación de la escuela, sus índices de rendición de cuentas y su capacidad para medir con precisión el progreso de los estudiantes.

Los padres y cuidadores pueden ayudar a sus hijos a obtener su mejor desempeño en estas pruebas recordándoles que deben dormir bien por la noche, tomar un desayuno saludable y tener presente que la política sobre el uso de teléfonos celulares sigue vigente durante la temporada de exámenes.

Es importante que los estudiantes asistan a la escuela en las fechas programadas para las evaluaciones. Si usted tiene conocimiento de algún conflicto que pudiera impedir que su estudiante presente una prueba, por favor notifíquenoslo lo antes posible. Obtenga más información sobre cómo apoyar a su hijo y por qué es importante la participación en las evaluaciones.

Existen varias oportunidades próximas para enviar sus comentarios al condado sobre su presupuesto antes de su aprobación final en mayo.

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

This week, we had the opportunity to truly celebrate the accomplishments of our students, both inside and outside the classroom, and it was a powerful reminder of what makes our Wildcat community so special. We proudly recognized 20 student-athletes from the Class of 2026 who will continue their athletic journeys at the collegiate level. This is an incredible achievement, and we celebrate not only their hard work and dedication, but also the support of their families, coaches, and teachers who helped them reach this milestone.

I also had the pleasure of congratulating our Boys’ Soccer student-athletes and their families during Senior Night, a meaningful moment to honor their commitment and contributions to our school community. In addition, I had the chance to admire the remarkable artistic talents of students from across the Centreville pyramid at our Pyramid Art Show. The creativity and passion on display truly showcased the depth of talent and dedication that exists throughout the Wildcat Nation.

I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to our PTSA for their leadership in organizing what we hope will become a wonderful new tradition at Centreville High School. On Saturday, we hosted our first annual CVHS Thrift Sale, and it was heartwarming to see our community come together in such a meaningful way. Families generously donated clothing, books, home goods, artwork, and more to support the event, and it was equally inspiring to see so many members of our community come out to shop and connect. Events like this reflect the strength of our community and the ways we continue to support one another.

As we look ahead, we encourage all students and families to join us for our upcoming PTSA meeting on Tuesday, April 14 at 6:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to get involved, stay informed, and hear directly from students, parents, and staff about all that is happening at Centreville High School.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for all that you do to make Centreville such a vibrant and supportive community.

Go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

The event highlighted the strength of our art programs across the pyramid, providing students with meaningful opportunities to explore a variety of artistic mediums and share their unique visions. It was inspiring to see the growth and passion for the arts reflected at every level. We extend our sincere thanks to the art instructors at each school, with special appreciation for our Centreville High School art teachers for their leadership in organizing and executing such a wonderful event.

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

I hope each of you had a wonderful and restful spring break. Time away from the daily routine is important, and I hope this recent break provided an opportunity to relax, recharge, and spend meaningful time with family and friends. I was fortunate to take a few days to step away as well, and I return feeling energized and excited for a strong finish to the school year.

As we settle back into our routines, this is the moment to “lock in” for the remainder of the year. We are now just four weeks away from SOL assessments and AP exams, and only nine weeks from final exams and graduation. The finish line is in sight, and every day between now and then matters. Our collective focus, effort, and determination will ensure that each student finishes the year successfully and reaches their goals.

A key factor in that success is consistent attendance. A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more of the school year, regardless of whether those absences are excused or unexcused. This distinction is important as all absences count. Chronic absenteeism has a direct impact on student learning, academic performance, and overall school accountability. Simply put, being present in school is one of the most powerful ways students can set themselves up for success.

Historically, this time of year can bring a dip in attendance, but together we can change that pattern. I ask for a renewed commitment from our students and families: be in school every day, arrive on time, and give your very best effort. Each class, each assignment, and each interaction contributes to a strong and successful end to the year.

We are proud of the progress our students have made, and we are confident in what they can accomplish in these final weeks. Let’s continue working together to finish the year with focus, pride, and excellence.

Thank you and Go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

In extreme heat, we modify or cancel outdoor activities, use on-site measurements to guide athletic decisions, and promote hydration and cooling breaks. FCPS has plans in place to provide guidance during severe weather, including storms, flooding, and tornadoes. Decisions are informed by industry best practices, weather alerts, and a commitment to keeping our school community safe and healthy year-round.

• New globally inspired dishes that offer exciting flavors from around the world.
• Fresh ingredients like whole grains, lean proteins, and plant-based options.
• Scratch-made items like homemade granola.

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

As we enter the final week of the third quarter, and with Spring Break mere days away, I want to take a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come and focus on the strong finish ahead. For our Class of 2026, this moment is especially significant, with fewer than 50 school days remaining until graduation on June 11. While the end of the school year is in sight, this is not the time to ease up. It is critical that we close out this quarter, and the 2025–2026 school year, with purpose and determination. I encourage all of our students to stay focused, continue working hard, and seek support whenever it is needed. We are here to help you succeed.

As we look ahead, I also want to share an important update regarding our schedule for SOL testing. Centreville High School will operate on a modified bell schedule on April 30, May 4, and May 6. On these dates, students scheduled to take an SOL assessment will participate in testing blocks from 8:10–11:15 AM. Our goal is to provide a calm, focused environment that allows every student to perform at their very best. These assessments are not only essential for graduation requirements, but they also serve as important benchmarks for our school as a whole. Additional details are included below, and we will continue to communicate with students and families as these dates approach.

After Spring Break, the pace of the school year will only accelerate. I encourage all students and families to take full advantage of the upcoming break as a time to rest, recharge, and prepare for the final stretch. Please note that there will be limited access to the school building during the break, along with reduced hours, so that our staff can also take some well-deserved time.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support of our Centreville community. I will return with the next Wildcat Weekly on April 5. Until then, stay safe and enjoy your Spring Break.

Go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Working alongside a team of primarily CVHS students, their efforts earned multiple honors, including the Impact Award, Hero Award, and a top-three finish among 19 Northern Virginia teams. Several Centreville students were also recognized individually for outstanding fundraising, with Cara named a top-five fundraiser and Hall of Fame honoree.

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

Last week was a truly special one in the Wildcat Nation, filled with moments that reminded us what makes Centreville High School such an extraordinary community. Our Inclusion Revolution Spirit Week brought our school together in powerful ways, highlighted by a school-wide pep rally in support of our Unified Basketball Team. The excitement and pride carried into Thursday evening’s FanQuest event, where our Unified Athletes were joined by teams from Chantilly, Robinson, and Westfield. It was incredible to see our students rally around our athletes and celebrate the spirit of inclusion and teamwork.

Our week concluded with another remarkable celebration as the South Asian Student Association hosted International Night. The evening showcased beautiful cultural attire, vibrant performances, and the rich traditions that make up our diverse community. International Night continues to be one of the most spectacular events of the year, and together with our Inclusion Revolution activities, it demonstrates how powerful it is when our community comes together to celebrate acceptance, belonging, and pride in who we are.

While these events highlight the very best of Centreville, it is important that the values they represent do not end when the week concludes. Acceptance, tolerance, and belonging are ideals we must cultivate continuously within our community. Over the last couple of months, I have been made aware of several instances in which students have spread misinformation or spoken derogatorily about one another. This is not the culture we strive to build at Centreville High School, nor is it behavior we will accept in our community.

As we have seen in our country and across the world, acts of hate and division only weaken our communities. Instead, I ask our students to be leaders in spreading kindness, belonging, acceptance, and understanding. Before speaking about another student, take a moment to consider how it would feel if those same words were said about you, about a friend, a sibling, or someone you care about. I also ask our families to partner with us by having conversations at home about the impact our words and actions have on others.

One of our continued areas of focus as a school is cultivating a positive school climate. This means building strong relationships with one another, offering support when it is needed, and consistently demonstrating kindness and respect in our daily interactions. I am confident that by working together we can ensure that the spirit of Inclusion Revolution Week is not limited to one week, but instead becomes a lasting part of who we are every day in the Wildcat Nation.

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

One of our priorities at Centreville High School is cultivating a positive school culture, and this week was a beautiful example of what that looks like in action. From athletics to academics to the arts, our Wildcats continue to show what it means to lead with pride, perseverance, and positivity.

First, congratulations to our Girls’ Basketball team on an incredible season! While the season did not end exactly as we had hoped, we are immensely proud of all they accomplished. Their dedication, teamwork, and resilience represented Centreville with class all year long.

Our talented Choir and Orchestra programs also took the stage this week for their pre-assessment concerts. These performances not only showcased the tremendous talent of our student musicians but also provided valuable preparation for their upcoming state assessment. Based on what we heard this week, we know they are poised for exceptional performances ahead!

During Junior Focus Day this week our juniors engaged in a variety of meaningful presentations about post-secondary pathways. Whether their plans include college, the military, apprenticeships, or trade schools, students gained valuable insights and practical tools to help them confidently begin mapping out their next steps. It is exciting to see them start shaping their futures with intention.

Meanwhile, Centreville Robotics Team 5243 - AEGIS competed this weekend in an archaeology-themed competition, and their robot, “Reggie” (a fun nod for any Raiders of the Lost Ark fans!), was a standout in every match. Beyond technical excellence, our students demonstrated outstanding teamwork, problem-solving, and Wildcat spirit on their way to becoming one of the top-performing teams in the competition. We are so proud of their innovation and collaboration.

Our commitment to positive culture and belonging was especially evident as our Unified Basketball team traveled to Annandale High School for their FanQuest basketball game. Special Olympics Unified Sports brings together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team, promoting inclusion, friendship, and understanding through competition. Watching our students in the adapted curriculum compete alongside their partner students, with their abilities highlighted and celebrated, is truly inspiring. It was a powerful and energizing kickoff to our upcoming Inclusion Revolution Spirit Week.

This week we celebrate our 2nd Annual Inclusion Revolution Spirit Week. At Centreville, we strive to be a school where everyone is welcomed, celebrated, and feels a true sense of belonging. Inclusion is not simply an initiative, it is who we are. When we embrace inclusivity, students develop stronger social skills, learn to respect and appreciate differences, and build the confidence needed to reach their full potential. A positive school culture means ensuring every Wildcat feels seen, valued, and supported.

We look forward to continuing the celebration with our FanQuest Pep Rally on Wednesday and our FanQuest Unified Basketball event on Thursday evening. I encourage all members of our Wildcat community to come out, show your spirit, and celebrate the diverse strengths and talents that make Centreville such a special place.

Thank you for your continued partnership in building a school culture that lifts up every student. It is a great week to be a Wildcat!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

What a tremendous weekend to be a Wildcat! Congratulations to our Girls’ Basketball Team on winning the Northern Region Championship on Friday night! Every time I watch this team compete, I’m struck not just by their talent, but by the way they play the game: disciplined, unselfish, and completely committed to one another. They encourage and support each other on every possession, and they represent themselves and the Centreville community with pride and class. They are a true example of what we hope all of our student-athletes embody. I hope you’ll come out Tuesday evening to cheer them on as they begin their run in the State Tournament. Let’s pack the stands and show them our Wildcat spirit!

It’s hard to believe, but we are now just four weeks away from the end of the third quarter. As the weather begins to warm and we start to see the light at the end of the school year tunnel, it can be tempting to look too far ahead. However, this stretch of the year is critically important. I want to encourage all of our students to remain focused and diligent in their academic efforts. That means attending school consistently and on time, staying organized with weekly assignments and responsibilities, and seeking support from teachers, counselors, and parents when needed. Small, consistent efforts each day make a big difference over time.

Speaking of the end of the year, in the coming weeks we will begin sharing important information regarding End-of-Year SOL tests and AP Exams. These assessments matter. SOLs are part of graduation requirements, and AP Exams provide valuable opportunities for students to earn college credit. Beyond that, student success on these exams directly reflects our collective success as a school community. Together, we will continue working to provide the very best environment for our students to feel prepared, confident, and supported.

Finally, our PTSA is continuing to look for ways to increase engagement across our community. The deadline to volunteer for the Class of 2026 All Night Grad Party has been extended. Thank you to those who have already stepped forward! We are also excited to launch what we hope will become a new Centreville tradition: the CVHS Thrift Sale on Saturday, April 11, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the main entrance. Item drop-off will be accepted Friday, April 10, from 3:00–7:00 p.m., and again Saturday beginning at 7:00 a.m. We are looking for both student and parent volunteers to assist during these times. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Doug Brookbank at [email protected] or Catalina Ruiz at [email protected] .

Thank you, and Go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Wonderful Wildcats

Innovation on Display: AEGIS 5243 Robot Reveal:The Centreville Robotics Team, AEGIS 5243, proudly hosted its Robot Reveal Event, showcasing the incredible work students have accomplished so far this season and formally unveiling their competition robot. Team members confidently presented their design process, engineering decisions, and competition goals while engaging in thoughtful conversations with parents, coaches, and company sponsors. This event highlighted the high-level problem-solving, collaboration, and technical skills our students apply every day. We extend our sincere thanks to our dedicated coaches, supportive families, and generous sponsors for their continued commitment to AEGIS 5243 and our students’ success.

Student Voices in Action: Literature Circles Bring Learning to Life: In Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Walker’s English 12 classes, students engaged in Literature Circles as part of their “Change and Transition” unit. Through clearly defined roles such as Clarifier, Connector, and Question Master, students led thoughtful discussions, analyzed complex texts, and made meaningful connections. This collaborative work reflects our instructional goal of engaging students in high-level academic tasks that promote critical thinking and strong academic discourse. We are proud of our teachers for designing powerful learning experiences and of our students for rising to the challenge.

Important Information from FCPS

Community Conversations: Share Your Thoughts With Dr. Reid:As a listening leader, connecting with community members across our school division is critical to FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid. Her Community Conversations are opportunities for you to share your thoughts and ask questions. Events will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) on: 

• Tuesday, March 3, at Waples Mill Elementary School .

Celebrating the Power of School Breakfast:Multiple studies show that school breakfast is important in supporting overall student health by improving students’ diets and combating food insecurity. Also, students who eat school breakfast consume more fruit and fiber than their peers. This National School Breakfast Week, FCPS Food and Nutrition Services reminds families that they are dedicated to providing flavorful, healthy, sustainable, and student-focused meals. New menu items have been launched this year based on student feedback. Would you like to know what’s for breakfast? View Nutrition Services’ printable menus . 

Become Unskippable: Share the Facts About Fentanyl With Teens:Talking with teens about the facts of fentanyl is a conversation you can’t skip. Learning about fentanyl gives teens a better understanding of the risks and effects of the drug, and what they can do to keep themselves and their communities safe. 

Share these important facts with your child:

• Even half a fentanyl-laced pill can be fatal. Just a few salt-sized grains of fentanyl are enough to cause an overdose.
• More than half of local street pills contain a deadly dose of fentanyl. As of 2023, seven in 10 counterfeit pills in the U.S. contain enough fentanyl to cause a fatal overdose.
• Fentanyl is usually taken accidentally. Many people have no idea they’ve taken it until they overdose because you can’t see, smell, or taste it in pills and powders.
• Overdose can happen in an instant. In as little as four minutes, the lack of oxygen can lead to brain damage and even death.

Learn more about how to have conversations with your child in a way that will make you Become Unskippable.

No-Cost Mental Health Teletherapy for All High School Students:Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? If so, you may refer your child for weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS Teletherapy webpage for information on this service.

Información importante

Celebrando el Poder del Desayuno Escolar:Múltiples estudios han demostrado que el desayuno escolar es importante para la salud general de los estudiantes, para mejorar sus dietas y para combatir la inseguridad alimentaria. Los estudiantes que desayunan en la escuela consumen más frutas y fibra que los que no lo hacen. Esta Semana Nacional del Desayuno Escolar, los Servicios de Alimentación y Nutrición de FCPS (FNS, por sus siglas en inglés) quiere recordarles a las familias, que ellos se dedican a ofrecer comidas que son sabrosas, saludables, sostenibles y enfocadas en los propios estudiantes. En respuesta a sugerencias de los estudiantes, este año se han lanzado nuevas cómidas.¿Quiere saber qué hay para desayunar hoy? Los Servicios de Nutrición tiene disponibles menús imprimibles .

Haga que sea inevitable: Comparta las Verdades:Hablar con los adolescentes acerca de las verdades del fentanilo es una conversación que no puede dejar pasar. Saber estas verdades sobre el fentanilo, ayuda a los jóvenes a entender mejor los riesgos y efectos de esta droga.

Comparta estos importantes datos con sus niños:

• ¡Consumir sólo la mitad de una píldora de fentanilo puede ser fatal! Sólo hacen falta unos pocos gramos del tamaño de un grano de sal de fentanilo, para producir una sobredosis. 
• ¡Más de la mitad de las píldoras que circulan en las calles contienen una dosis mortal de fentanilo! Hasta el 2023, 7 de cada 10 píldoras de imitación encontradas en el país, contenían una dosis de fentanilo suficiente para producir una sobredosis mortal.
• ¡El fentanilo usualmente se consume por accidente! Mucha gente no tiene idea de que lo tomaron puesto que no podemos verlo, olerlo, ni probarlo cuando consumimos una píldora o algún polvo.
• Una sobredosis puede ocurrir en un instante. La falta de oxígeno puede causar daños al cerebro o incluso la muerte, en tan sólo cuatro minutos.

Sepa más sobre cómo hablar con sus niños (en inglés, puede traducirla arriba a la derecha) de una forma tal que no puedan evitar tener esa conversación. 

Teleterapia de Salud Mental Sin Costo para Todos los Estudiantes de Secundaria:Su hijo de secundaria está teniendo ansiedad, cambios de comportamiento o dificultades con las relaciones familiares o con sus compañeros? Si es así, los padres/cuidadores pueden referir a sus hijos a terapia semanal con un terapeuta licenciado a través de Hazel Health.

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

As we move through another exciting week at Centreville High School, I am filled with pride for the many ways our community continues to come together in celebration, learning, and growth.

Over the past several days, we have had continued opportunities to honor the culture and diversity that make Centreville such a special place. Last week marked the beginning of Chinese New Year, and 2026 welcomes the Year of the Horse. In Chinese culture, the horse is often associated with freedom, energy, determination, and a bold, forward-moving spirit. It represents the courage to pursue new paths and the drive to embrace meaningful change. As I reflected on this symbolism, I was struck by how closely it aligns with the journey we are on together as a school community.

At Centreville, one of our core priorities is getting better, together. This commitment is grounded in two essential components: continuous improvement and strong collaboration. Like the spirit associated with the Year of the Horse, our work calls us to approach each day with purpose, openness to new opportunities, and a willingness to grow. Transformation does not happen in isolation, it happens when we learn from one another, support one another, and move forward as a united community.

This week, I also had the privilege of attending A Night of Korean Tradition . The evening featured a vibrant range of performances that highlighted the energy, grace, and artistic depth of Korean culture. Our students and performers shared traditions that were both powerful and inspiring. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to School Board member Mr. Ilryong Moon and the President of the Korean American Society of Virginia, Mr. Duk Man Kim, for joining us in celebrating this special event. Their presence and support reinforce the strong partnership between our school and the broader community.

As our Black Student Union concludes its Black History Month celebrations this week, I want to emphasize an important truth: celebrating and honoring culture is not limited to a single event or a single month. It is something we strive to do every day at Centreville High School. We are proud of the many cultures, perspectives, and experiences represented within our student body. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. When we celebrate one culture, we enrich our entire community. We learn from one another, deepen our empathy, and strengthen the bonds that unite us.

Thank you to our students, staff, families, and community partners for continuing to make Centreville a place where everyone is valued and where growth, both individual and collective, remains at the heart of all we do.

Thank you and go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

As I reflect on the past week at Centreville High School, I am reminded once again that one of our greatest strengths is the diversity of our community and the powerful collaboration that brings us together. When we celebrate who we are and work alongside one another, we truly shine.

Last week’s Black Student Union (BSU) Spirit Week was a wonderful example of that spirit in action. Throughout the week, students and staff proudly celebrated by wearing traditional cultural attire and showcasing their HBCU pride. It was inspiring to see our halls filled with color, heritage, and unity. The week concluded with a meaningful collaboration between our BSU and Student Government Association (SGA) in recognition of P.S. I Love You Day, bringing awareness to suicide prevention and reminding our community of the importance of connection, compassion, and support for one another. I am incredibly proud of our student leaders for creating spaces that honor culture while also uplifting the well-being of our entire Wildcat family.

We also had an exciting weekend of athletics as Centreville hosted the Regional Wrestling Tournament. Congratulations to Nathan Lim for earning second place in the 120lb weight class and securing his spot in the State Tournament next week! This is an outstanding accomplishment and a testament to his hard work and dedication. I would also like to commend all of our wrestlers and coaches for an incredible season. We are proud of you and wish Nathan the very best as he continues to compete at the state level.

This Wednesday marks the beginning of Ramadan, a holy month observed by Muslims around the world. Ramadan is a time of fasting from dawn to sunset, prayer, reflection, and community. It is a deeply meaningful period focused on spiritual growth, gratitude, and compassion for others. To our students, families, and staff who observe Ramadan, I extend my warmest wishes for a peaceful and blessed month. Ramadan Mubarak.

Looking ahead, our commitment to excellence in teaching and learning continues. Over the next month, our entire instructional staff will participate in classroom visits as part of our ongoing professional growth. These peer observations allow our teachers to learn from one another, reflect on their practice, and strengthen the collective expertise of our staff. Students may notice small groups of teachers visiting classrooms, a visible sign of our dedication to continuous improvement and to providing the very best learning experiences for every Wildcat.

Thank you and go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

Last week brought so much to celebrate across the Wildcat Nation! We were proud to recognize our Boys Basketball Class of 2026 student-athletes, and it was exciting to see post-season competition take place for Gymnastics, Wrestling, and Swim & Dive. Congratulations to all of our student-athletes on tremendous seasons and for representing Centreville High School with outstanding character, effort, and sportsmanship. We are incredibly proud of you.

We also kicked off WIDA testing for many of our multilingual learner students last week. The WIDA assessment measures student growth across four domains: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Our students and teachers have worked diligently all year to prepare for this opportunity, and we are excited to cheer on our students as they showcase their progress and continued growth.

Looking ahead to this week, we will hold our monthly PTSA meeting on Tuesday. Beginning at 6:00 PM, we will host an All-Night Grad Party (ANGP) Planning Meeting. We are thrilled to share that the All-Night Grad Party lock-in is returning to CVHS on Thursday, June 11, for the Class of 2026! This event promises to be an epic night filled with games, food, and prizes, but we need your help to make it happen. We welcome volunteers from families of all grade levels to support bringing back this beloved tradition. If you’re interested, please join us at 6:00 PM on Tuesday in the Centreville High School Library. Our standard PTSA meeting will follow at 7:00 PM.

Centreville Students, Families, and Community,

First, I want to thank the custodians for all of their hard work over the last several days! They braved the elements and took on the monumental task of clearing all the snow and ice. I greatly appreciate all the work they do behind the scenes to ensure our staff and students can get to school safely!

Despite the wintry weather this past week, I had the distinct pleasure of cheering on our Swim & Dive teams during their district meet and witnessing the incredible talent of Centreville Theatre at the One-Act Competition. It is a joy to announce that our student-athletes excelled, with many achieving personal bests and several qualifying for the regional competition this coming week! 

As your principal, my heart swells with pride when I see our students in action. They do more than just compete, they serve as ambassadors for the values that define Centreville: unwavering dedication, a passion for excellence, and deep-rooted sportsmanship. Whether on the pool deck or under the stage lights, they represent our community with the kind of integrity and spirit that makes us all proud to be Wildcats.

As we shift into February, we celebrate Black History Month, a time to honor the achievements, contributions, and central role of African Americans in U.S. history. This year’s theme, "A Century of Black History Commemorations," marks a momentous milestone: 100 years since Dr. Carter G. Woodson first established Negro History Week in 1926. This centennial invites us to reflect on how a century of honoring Black life and culture has transformed the modern world.

At Centreville, we believe Black history is American history. We remain committed to providing students with meaningful opportunities to engage with these stories, not just this month, but all year long. To bring this history to life, our Black Student Union (BSU) has curated a vibrant month of celebration, creativity, and community including a door decorating content and several themed dress-out days throughout the month to honor the diversity and joy of the Black experience. 

Thank you and go Wildcats!

Dr. Erik Healey, Principal
