Congratulations to Director of Student Services Sonya Williams who was recognized in the Impact on Others category at the 2021 FCPS Excellence Awards Ceremony!

The FCPS Excellence event was held at Fairfax High School on October 13 and was attended by Superintendent Dr. Scott Brabrand, members of the FCPS Leadership Team, members of the FCPS School Board, and other distinguished guests.

The following excerpt from her nomination packet was read while she received her certificate from Dr. Scott Brabrand, Region 5 Assistant Superintendent Rebecca Baenig, and members of the School Board.

Westfield High School Director of Student Services Sonya Williams works tirelessly to develop a caring school culture. She builds strong relationships with students, staff, and parents, and as a result of her approachable demeanor, students and staff often go to her for advice. This year, she made it a priority to ensure that students and families would maintain a feeling of connectedness to the school. She worked with two student groups to build peer relationships, started a Student Advisory Council, worked with our parent liaison to host evening information sessions for parents in English and Spanish, and partnered with local community organizations and churches to obtain school supplies and food gift cards for students in need.
