Porter Traditional School
School Happenings 2025-26
Check out what our students are learning, what they are accomplishing, what extracurricular activities they are excelling at....basically WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR PORTER STUDENTS!
The Emperor’s New Clothes was a huge success!
We are so proud of our amazing student actors and backstage crew for all of their hard work, courage, and creativity during Porter's first play production. Over just two weeks (really 19.5 hours) of rehearsals, our students brought this classic story to life and truly shined on stage.
A special thank you to our families, volunteers, staff, and supporters who helped make this memorable experience possible for our students.
Here are a few photos of our talented young actors in action!
The PTO spring balls....CANDYLAND BALL (Daddy/Daughter dance) and the SNEAKER BALL (Mother/Son dance) were huge successes with the students and their parents!! Here are just a few of the pictures taken:
CONGRATULATIONS! to S.E.A.S. Club team members: Rupkotha Barua, Yohanna Berhane, Ann Korah, and Riya Singh.
Their outstanding efforts at the PWCS Student Environmental Action Showcase earned them the Prince William Water Specialty Award for Eco-Art!
The showcase strives to promote student voices in environmental problem-solving. The project Porter's team created uses creativity mixed with a variety of environmental issues to inspire people to make a change in their environment.
