The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has announced that Virginia will move forward with a proposed draft of social studies standards that will, in the words of the draft, “just get rid of the dang thing.” This move comes after weeks of intense criticism from stakeholders, parents, teachers, students and academics over the January draft, which controversially included such changes as omitting the words “fascism” and “diversity.”

New Mural Showcases School History
Students in Beth Coast's art classes as well as other artistic Titans have been designing a mural about the timeline of Alexandria City High School, spanning from the school’s opening to present day. The mural will include important events such as in 1967 when the first class of T.C. Williams graduated, the success of ACHS’s football team in the 70s that inspired the hit movie Remember the Titans and more recently, the Covid spike and name change from T. C. Williams High School to Alexandria City High School because of the Black Lives Matter movement.
