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.
Meet the Faces of AACPS
I’ve Never Found a Better School
"If I had my way, this school would go from PreK-12th grade so my son would never have to leave."
Educating Students & Families
"Ms. Blondell believes, like I do, that you not only need to educate the child, you need to educate the parents."
Making a Difference with My Park Family
"This school is like a family--the students, the employees, and the community—it’s what keeps me here and it’s the reason that I want this to be the school I retire from."
Meeting Students’ Needs Outside of School
“So many of these families don’t have family support, which makes what HOPE [For All] does so important. ...The impact is just incredible.”
Shaping Tomorrow’s Workforce
"We are strengthening the push with the CAT schools to help raise awareness of the great opportunities that are still offered in trades."
A Partnership Impossible to Quantify
“Assistance League is one of the lifelines of [our school system]. They are equivalent to our school being on a game show and having to phone a very consistent, caring, giving and loving friend.”
