Exploring the Art of Color and Customization in Auto Collision

After spending the first half of the school year developing their non-structural dent repair skills, Level 1 Auto Collision students have begun exploring the paint and refinish process. Throughout the process, students head into the paint booth to spray two rounds of primer, color, then a layer of clear coat.  In an effort to use every drop of paint and avoid material waste, Mr. Byrne mixes the colors using paint leftover from customer work completed over the course of the school year.  You never know what you're going to get!  

Students also have the opportunity to add their own creative flare to their fender by applying designs using stencils or airbrushing.  While the end goal is the same for everyone, to produce a dent-free and paint-finished fender, each student has the opportunity to engage in the creative process to create something that represents them and their interests.

Students gather around on the carpet to read a book with one of our Teachers for Tomorrow students who is completing her student teaching experience.  

Teachers for Tomorrow students are assigned their student teaching experiences based on their interests within education.  This student teacher is completing his hours right here at Chantilly High School with the PE department. 

Officers from the Fairfax County Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit visited our Criminal Justice students this week for a Stop the Bleed training session.  Stop the Bleed trains students to recognize and control life-threatening bleeding using techniques such as wound packing and applying a tourniquet.  

Many thanks to the FCPD Officers who visited our Criminal Justice classes this week! 

Students in our PT/OT class learn and practice a wide variety of therapies used to treat patients.  This week, they focused on chest PT and, more specifically, chest percussion, which is a tapping technique used to help clear mucus from the airways.    

Our Exploring Health Science students completed their Red Cross Basic Life Support (BLS) certification this week.  The BLS certification focuses on provide immediate medical care in an emergency by administering CPR or using an AED.

AFJROTC Cadets Take Flight at the 167th Airlift Wing

Last weekend, 47 cadets from Chantilly Academy's Air Force JROTC program had the privilege of taking an orientation flight on a C-17 Globemaster III at the 167th Airlift Wing in Martinsburg, West Virginia.  Prior to their flight, cadets had the opportunity to hear from Brigadier General David Cochran about his career in the Air Force and the mission of the 167th Airlift Wing.  

After checking in for their flight, the cadets headed to the tarmac where they boarded the massive C-17 aircraft.  Following a safety check by one of the Airmen, the cadets took to the skies for this very special orientation flight.  While in the air, cadets had the opportunity to tour the cockpit and take in the views.  

We are extremely grateful to the Airmen at the 167th Airlift Wing who made this incredible experience possible for our cadets!

Tailored Closet Field Trip Brings Classroom Concepts to Life for Carpentry Students

Our Carpentry 2 students took a field trip this week to visit one of our local business partners, The Tailored Closet and Premier Garage of Greater Washington DC.  For the second year in a row, owners Todd and Juliana Carter opened their showroom and warehouse doors to show our Carpentry students how their business operates from start to finish including their design, manufacturing, and installation processes.  

Director of Operations, Dylan Orr, and Production Director, Mitchell Rickard, are both former Chantilly Academy Carpentry students and were able to share their journeys from the classroom to the workplace.  A highlight of the field trip was learning about The Tailored Closet's design process with Dylan, then touring the warehouse with Mitchell to see how the manufacturing process is applied to make those design blueprints come to life.  

We are extremely grateful to our partners at The Tailored Closet and Premier Garage of Greater Washington DC for opening their doors to our students for this unique and engaging experience.  In case you missed it, check out our first visit to The Tailored Closet last school year: Chantilly Academy Students Visit The Tailored Closet: Learning the Craft of Custom Carpentry.

Celebrating Our Teachers During CTE Month

In case you missed it: Chantilly Academy's very own Ryan Byrne, Auto Collision teacher, was featured this week by FCPS for their "Teacher Tuesday" spotlight.  When asked why he began teaching, Mr. Byrne shared, "I was drawn to teaching because I believe that education has the power to transform lives. As a student, I had excellent teachers who inspired me to pursue my passions and encouraged me to reach my full potential. I saw firsthand the impact that teachers can have on their students, both academically, personally, and emotionally. I wanted to be someone who could have a similar effect on my students, helping them grow into confident, compassionate, and curious individuals equipped to succeed in all areas of life."

Prior to beginning his teaching career, Mr. Byrne spent time working in the automotive industry as an Auto Body Repair Technician.  In fact, his very first job in high school was at Fairfax Collision Center where he worked as an Auto Body Repair Assistant.  Mr. Byrne secured this job with the help of his Chantilly Academy Auto Collision teacher, Mr. Brown.  In a full circle moment, upon his retirement, Mr. Brown passed the torch to his former student leaving the Chantilly Academy Auto Collision program in great hands!  

 

Mr. Byrne is just one example of the many incredible CTE instructors we are lucky to have teaching at Chantilly Academy.  Our teachers bring industry expertise, real-world experience, and a passion for sharing their vast knowledge with our students to the classroom each day.  Many even got their start in a CTE classroom themselves.  Thank you to all of our incredible teachers for making Chantilly Academy an amazing place to learn, explore, and be inspired!

Mrs. Spinetto (left), one of our Veterinary Science teachers, took Veterinary Science at Chantilly Academy when she was in high school, inspiring her love of animal science and her passion for the course.  Prior to returning to Chantilly Academy (this time as a teacher!), Mrs. Spinetto spent 5 years as a Zookeeper and 4 years as a Veterinary Assistant.    

Mrs. Martin (center), our Dental Careers teacher, took the Dental Careers course at her high school in Michigan.  After spending 6 years as a Dental Assistant and 18 years as a Dental Hygienist, Mrs. Martin found herself in the classroom teaching the course that first sparked her interest in dentistry.

STEM Engineering Students Build Model Solar-Powered Vehicles

Creativity, critical thinking, and a little competitive spirit were on display as students in our STEM Engineering classes designed and constructed solar-powered racecars.  This project required students to work in teams and use hands-on engineering skills to build their racecars.  Students constructed their racecars with the goal of having the fastest vehicle.  To add an extra challenge, each car was required to carry a payload, two ping pong balls, that would stay in place the entire length of the racetrack.  Our engineering students were certainly up for the challenge, as we had many creative vehicles racing down our Academy hallway throughout the week.  

This is just one example of how our engineering students use creativity, problem solving, and experimentation each day in the lab.  We love to see our students working together to create amazing results!

Exploring Health Science Gets Hands On Experience at Inova

This week, students in our Exploring Health Science class had the opportunity to use state-of-the-art medical equipment at Inova's Advanced Surgical Technology and Education Center (ASTEC).  The ASTEC is the most technologically advanced surgery simulation facility in the region and is used by surgeons, surgical residence, and surgical teams for training and education.  While there, students put their medical skills to practice using laparoscopes, endoscopes, robotic surgical systems, and interactive mannequins.  

Following their visit to the ASTEC, students heard a presentation by Inova's Respiratory Therapy team and learned how they provide respiratory services to a range of patients from infants in the NICU to elderly patients.  During this presentation, students had the opportunity to practice intubation, use manual breathing pumps, and see how lungs inflate and deflate.

We are grateful to our partners at Inova for making these unique and invaluable experiences possible for our students!

Chantilly Academy is Preparing the Next Generation of Teachers!

While all of our students at Chantilly Academy are engaged in lessons planned by our amazing instructors, one particular classroom is filled with students who are doing the lesson planning.  Teachers for Tomorrow (TfT) is a two year program offered to juniors and seniors who are interested in pursuing a career in education.  As part of their curriculum, TfT students participate in classroom observations and complete their own student teaching experience.  

Students in the program work with TfT instructor, Mrs. Reinfried, to identify areas of education they are most interested in and passionate about, and select their observations and student teaching experiences accordingly.  TfT students complete their internships in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms and have the opportunity to spend time in general education, special education, and advanced academics classrooms depending on their interests.  

Teachers for Tomorrow is one of FCPS' Grow Your Own programs.  FCPS is committed to growing our own teacher pipeline and, as part of that commitment, students who successfully complete TfT and go on to earn a degree from an accredited collegiate teacher preparation program are offered a guaranteed interview for a teaching position with FCPS.  

Chantilly Academy Highlights
