Schools of the Future in Falls Church

Description

Everyone is a Stakeholder
Falls Church is planning for a new or renovated George Mason High School and an addition to Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build academic and community schools for the next generation. Your input is essential in determining the community priorities for the Schools of the Future in Falls Church.
 
Everyone is invited to attend a Community Forum on Saturday, October 17. A panel of visionary school designers, including architects and green building experts, will discuss trends and best practices in school design. Community members will have an opportunity to weigh on on their priorities and preferences for the elements that should be part of our new/renovated school buildings.
 
If you cannot attend the October 17 event, there is will be an opportunity for you to provide input via survey. The session will be recorded and available to view afterwards.
