Today, we had the honor of welcoming back the Class of 2026 seniors—former MacArthur Stars—for the traditional March of the Titans!❤️💙

What a special and heartwarming moment as these graduating seniors returned to the place where their educational journey began. From sitting once again on the kindergarten carpet for a story, to reconnecting with their former PE teacher, Mr. Harris, and enjoying some nostalgic parachute fun in the gym, it was a day filled with memories, smiles, and reflection.

Watching these former MacArthur Stars walk our halls as graduating seniors was a powerful reminder of how far they have come and the bright futures that await them.

Congratulations, ACHS Class of 2026!

Our 2nd Grade MacArthur Stars for the past two weeks have had the exciting opportunity to participate in the Alexandria Soccer Association (ASA) PE Takeover Clinics.

ASA staff and coaches lead our 2nd Graders through school-day soccer clinics focused on fundamental soccer skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. As part of the Soccer IN School initiative, these experiences are designed to increase access to soccer while encouraging physical activity, teamwork, and healthy lifestyles.

A special thank you to ASA
