Still Owe Athletic Fees?

Once entered into the school debt system, you will need to continue to pay online and will also be required to bring a copy of your receipt to finance in order for the debt to be removed.

Donations for the "All Night Graduation Party" for the Class of 2012:

High School Graduation is an important milestone in a teenager’s life, which deserves to be honored and celebrated in style, with safety in mind.  For the past 25 years Fairfax County high schools, with the support of the PTSO, community, friends, and businesses, have hosted a dynamic, safe, alcohol and drug-free graduation celebration.  This year SCSS will continue this tradition by hosting an All Night Graduation Party (ANGP) on Monday, June 18, 2012.  For our seniors we are planning a fantastic evening of musical entertainment (DJ and dancing), carnival games, casino games, food, prizes, and more.

Expenses for the ANGP for a class of over 500 students are enormous. While ticket sales to seniors help defray some of the cost of the evening, we try and keep ticket prices affordable, so that all seniors are able to attend.   In addition, monetary donations are necessary to cover the cost of food, entertainment, and music.  Your generous support is greatly appreciated.  All contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and contributors will be acknowledged.

June will be here sooner than you think and we need your pledge of support now.  Here is an easy link to follow to make your donation today:  http://southcountyptso.org/programDonations.html. We also ask that you please share this information and link with your family, friends and employers who might be willing to donate.

On behalf of the South County Secondary School Class of 2012, thank you for your support!
