On June 7, 2022, NCS recognized the recipients of the 2022 Juneteenth Resiliency Awards during the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors meeting. The student award winners received certificates, a copy of the Juneteenth Proclamation made by Chairman of the Board Jeffrey McKay, and a group photo with the members of the Board of Supervisors.
The Juneteenth Resiliency Awards, now in their second year, recognize and celebrate Black resiliency in youth and young adults ages 13-21 who have exhibited true perseverance (also known as grit, determination, dedication and persistence) to strive towards meaningful contributions and outcomes in their lives and/or the lives of others in the Black community.
