According to an FCPS press release:

"Three Fairfax County public schools—Chantilly High School, McLean High School, and West Springfield High School—are among 28 schools nationwide selected as recipients of the 2024 First Amendment Press Freedom Award. This is the tenth consecutive award for Chantilly High, the seventh consecutive award for McLean High, and the second consecutive award for West Springfield High.

The award recognizes private and public high schools that actively support, teach, and protect First Amendment rights and responsibilities of students and teachers, with an emphasis on student-run media where students make all final decisions of content."

Congratulations to these schools and their student journalists.
