News & Announcements

Financial Aid Assistance

I am so proud to share that today we were able to help 35 students complete some or all parts of their financial aid applications (FAFSAs and CCS Profiles)!

This was such a meaningful and productive day for Snowden students and families.

A big shoutout to Sha Lee, our Freedom House College and Pathway Advisor, who single-handedly managed all the details and logistics for this big event. Her hard work, self-reliance, and ability to think one step ahead made the entire day run so smoothly. I also want to thank the rest of my incredible college team, Zoe Yuan and Jonathan Long, as well as, Ms. Desruisseaux, Ms. Compres, and the 15 volunteers who gave their time to support our students.

Japanese Students' Visit

Snowden welcomed students and staff from the Japanese School-Nishiyamoto for a wonderful cultural exchange visit! Our guests participated in classes, shared insights about Japanese education and culture, and connected with our students through conversation and collaboration.

A special thank-you to Mrs. Daboussi for organizing the visit and to the Snowden students who helped make our guests feel welcomed and supported throughout the day. Your enthusiasm and hospitality truly showcased the spirit of our school community!

Spotlight on Mr. Abbott

Although his title is Special Education Teacher, Mr. John Abbott continually goes above and beyond his role to support some of Snowden’s most high-needs students. His dedication to transition services, helping students identify post-secondary programs, explore employment opportunities, and plan for independent success, has made a lasting impact. Mr. Abbott’s commitment to ensuring that every student leaves Snowden with a clear path forward exemplifies the spirit of service, care, and student-centered support that defines our community.
Please take a moment to thank Mr. Abbott when you see him for his exceptional dedication and care for our students.
