Educate Fairfax was proud to introduce the 2023 Class of Inductees to the FCPS Hall of Fame on April 19, 2023.  This distinguished group of twelve individuals spans four decades and represent high schools from across Fairfax County.  

It was a pleasure to see them interact with their former teachers and mentors and to share their connection with each other. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped us celebrate their accomplishments and their impact on our community and our society.
