Commendations, Congratulations, & Kudos
Congratulations to Ms. Hilliary Woodward, who was notified today that she was selected at the Outstanding FCPS High School CTE Teacher of the Year!

Most importantly, her high schoolers have come to know her as a trusted adult who is invested in her students well-being and progress.
