What is the Faces of AACPS?
Stories are one of the most powerful tools we have for building relationships and connecting with each other. When we share our experience, we help others understand who we are and what we value. In AACPS, these experiences often celebrate opportunities our students, families, and staff have at their schools and recognize the teachers, colleagues, and community partners who make those opportunities possible.
The Faces of AACPS is an online, storytelling platform that gives our AACPS community the space to share positive experiences. From writing a quick note to thank a teacher to sharing a life-changing experience in high school, any experience can become a story and every story is worth sharing.

Helping My Kids At Home and in Our School
"Being in the classroom, I’m seeing what they’re going through and I can help and reassure them. Knowing that I have that insight means I’m helping kids here and I’m helping them at home."
Learning New Skills at Park
"I wish the whole world knew that Park is a friendly school where teachers teach you about strategies and skills."
We Are a Family at Park Elementary School
As educators, "We wouldn’t bring our own children here if we didn’t think they’d get the best education possible."
At Home At Park
"This is where I feel I do my best work and I never want to be anywhere else—I never need to be anywhere else."
Park is a Special School
"I don’t know what makes this school special, but it’s just special to me."
