The Manassas City School Board recognized Osborne High School journalism program for VHSL rankings, announced local nominees for the Washington Post teacher of the year, and honored board member Suzanne Seberg for a regional elected leadership award.

The Manassas City School Board opened its January meeting with spotlights recognizing student achievement and local educators.

Miss Radford announced Osborne High School’s journalism students and adviser Lisa Miller earned multiple VHSL recognitions, including second-place rankings for the yearbook and morning show and superior marks across design, photography, and AP style categories. Students called to the front included Malia Stewart, Ian Knox and Brie Moody; another student, Natalia, was noted as arriving after names were read.

Radford also introduced the district’s nominees for the Washington Post Teacher of the Year, listing educators from multiple schools including Baldwin Elementary (Rebecca Nevis), Jenny Dean Elementary (Anne Marie Alves), Hayden Elementary (Diana Garcia Sandigo), Round Elementary (Dina Caracciolo), Weems Elementary (Nicole Winn), Baldwin Intermediate (Dorell Fullard), Mayfield Intermediate (Patricia Torres Gonzales), Metz Middle (Taylor Mosser) and Osborne High (Payel Saxena). Radford noted the division winner is under embargo until late April.

The board also recognized Suzanne Seberg for receiving the 2025 Regional Elected Leadership Award. Seberg briefly reflected on the honor and the values of collaboration and public service while Chair Spall offered remarks praising Seberg’s leadership and nine years of service.

Board members used the remarks section of the meeting to congratulate awardees, highlight foundation grants (the MCPS Foundation awarded $10,732.25 to five teachers in December), and promote upcoming events including a Manassas City Spelling Bee on Jan. 29 and an MLK oratorical competition on Jan. 19.
