Dear Fauquier County Public Schools Community,

I am pleased to present the 2023-2024 Superintendent's Annual Report on the overall health and progress of our school division. It is with a sense of pride and gratitude that I highlight our significant achievements, focusing on our commitment to engagement, safety, and learning.

This year, we made substantial strides in fostering strong connections within our school community. Increased parent and community involvement through initiatives such as the family forums and the creation of the Family Focus Group have been pivotal. 

We have placed particular emphasis on amplifying student voice. By offering students opportunities to participate in decision-making processes, provide feedback, and take on leadership roles, we have empowered them to actively engage in their education. Student-led initiatives, including clubs, advisory boards, and service projects, have thrived, showcasing the remarkable potential of our young leaders.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our foremost priority. This year, we enhanced security measures and conducted extensive emergency preparedness training, including the Fauquier County Full-Scale Exercise. Our goal is to ensure that every student feels valued and secure.

Our commitment to academic excellence and instruction has never been stronger. We have embraced cutting-edge teaching practices, personalized learning approaches, and interdisciplinary curriculum design to meet the diverse needs and interests of our students. Project-based learning, technology integration, and hands-on experiences have ignited a passion for learning and fostered a growth mindset among our students. I am proud to report significant academic achievements this year, including increased proficiency rates, higher graduation rates, and outstanding performance in regional and national competitions. Our rigorous academic programs, including advanced placement courses, dual enrollment opportunities, and career pathways, have prepared our students for success in college, careers, and beyond.

Reflecting on the 2023-2024 school year, we are reminded of the resilience, determination, and spirit of collaboration that define our school community. 

Together, we have made significant strides in promoting engagement, ensuring safety, and fostering learning opportunities for all students.

Dr. Major Warner
