In June, we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month, dedicating this time to affirming the identities that create our strong and diverse district. During this month, we focus on the importance of creating space for our scholars, staff, and community to show up as their authentic selves. Scholars feel most empowered to do their best learning when they are comfortable being themselves.

We’re #FWPSProud of our phenomenal scholars, staff, and community members and love recognizing them during the Good News Announcements at our board meetings!

Join us on Wednesday, May 22, from 6-7:30 p.m. at Thomas Jefferson High School to celebrate the brilliance of middle and high school CTE scholars. The event includes scholar booths, special experiences, and more!
