Partnership Purpose

The Chantilly High School/Northrop Grumman partnership was established to support, through both institutions' resources, a variety of activities to ultimately improve student achievement.

A Partnership Agreement was initially formalized on October 17, 1986, and renewed in 1989, 1993, 1997, 2000 and 2004. It is managed by a steering committee of Northrop Grumman employees and CHS faculty, co-chaired by a representative from each organization. This team coordinates the continuation of partnership activities and initiatives as they evolve.

The goal of this business and education partnership is to enrich the instructional programs at Chantilly and enhance the quality of life in our community. Northrop Grumman and Chantilly High School look forward to remaining… "Partners Today for a Better Tommorrow."
