ACPS Scholars of the Week Recognition Program
ACPS proudly salutes T.C. Williams High School students who excel academically and as productive members of the local and regional communities. Each week, the ACPS website will feature two students who meet the established criteria for the ACPS Scholars of the Week distinction. These students represent the academic excellence, creativity, talent and civic commitment that exemplify the spirit of being a Titan. Scholars of the Week are nominated by their school counselors. ACPS recognizes the accomplishments of these Titan scholars as a representation of their classmates and their school.
