[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the MHS update? There was a “State of the School” presentation from the new principal… any important highlights? [/quote]

Raven Jones is quite dynamic and enthusiastic.  With respect to facilities she made a "don't hold me to it comment" that the school might get renovated started in 2034 or 2036.  No idea where she got those dates or whether they'd been vetted by others.  She talked about some other smaller building repairs in process, such as the replacement of two chillers that she said should result in a more consistent temperature throughout the building.

She said the presentation (it was about 30 minutes) would get posted on the school's web page at some point.  It was about what you'd expect - she loves being the principal, the kids are great, etc.  The only other things she said that I specifically recall are that among the county's 25 high schools McLean's economically disadvantaged students had the second-best improvement in academic performance last year, and that the biggest number of disciplinary infractions are for kids skipping class.  And she urged parents not to let their kids take 6 AP classes in a single year because she said it's unnecessary to get into great schools and will lead to burnout. [/quote]

30 years after McLean's last renovation, it "might" be due for a new renovation. That's actually not out of the ordinary in terms of a timeline for FCPS facility improvements. The current roof has a 25-30 year life span, so fingers crossed a renovation in 2036 is more than a paint job, some new furniture, and hvac upgrades. [/quote]
