TJ is preparing a cohort whose ultimate aim is to become Chief Equity Officers. Equity at the center of it all.

So, yeah for LBSS, but LBSS also didn't have a single National Merit Semifinalist in the Class of 2022, when TJ had 144, so I'd be more circumspect when it comes to encouraging a pissing contest.


Just wait couple of years and see how it goes with the new admission process.


TJ will be unstoppable because the new admission process favors raw talent over preppers.


Ha ha ha. Yeah. FCPS believes under their new admissions standards they have captured the best and true talent.

Wait, what? In sports? If you think in NMSF or academic honors, I highly doubt even you believe that.
