Overview

TJAAG is a group of more than 1,000 TJ alumni that seeks an admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology that promotes student representation, reflecting its draw districts, and creates an improved anti-racist student experience that provides the quality educational experience needed to grow future STEM leaders. TJAAG is focused on driving change in the following areas to achieve its core objectives: ▪ Re-designing the admissions process to be more equitable and result in representation of the makeup of Fairfax County and TJ's Northern Virginia draw districts ▪ Increasing and providing consistent, effective access in all communities to resources and messaging that recruits and prepares kids for the TJ application (not just AAP centers) ▪ Mandating an anti-racist curriculum for use starting this upcoming school year, including more resources and support at TJ for under-represented groups, to provide a healthy learning environment for all students
