Manassas Park High School Students Selected for American Legion Boys State Program

Manassas Park City Schools celebrated the achievements of its students during a recent school board meeting, highlighting their participation in the prestigious American Legion Boys State program. Four students—Jonathan Lamb, Maxwell Lacchiemese, Javier Orozoco, and Trey Phillips—will represent the school at this summer's event, which is known for its rigorous educational approach to government instruction. Boys State participants engage in a hands-on experience that teaches them about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, as well as the workings of local and state governments.

Trey Phillips attended the meeting on behalf of his peers and shared insights about how the program aligns with his aspirations of becoming an attorney. The school board expressed pride in the students' accomplishments and wished them well on their upcoming adventure.

Additionally, the meeting acknowledged the success of the annual Special Olympics event held on May 10. The event, praised for its collaborative spirit, showcased the talents of students as they participated in various sporting activities. The board thanked Jen Kiernan and her team for their leadership in organizing this cherished occasion, which fosters community engagement and celebrates the abilities of all students.

These initiatives reflect Manassas Park City Schools' commitment to providing enriching experiences that prepare students for future success while promoting inclusivity and community involvement.
