The Langley Gold Mock Trial team had an outstanding showing at the Northern Virginia Regional Tournament on Saturday, competing in three rigorous rounds and qualifying for the state competition in Richmond (Mar 6–8).
Langley was also awarded the Civility Award—chosen by peer teams among 40 area high schools—recognizing respect, integrity, and sportsmanship. This honor reflects not only the team’s legal skill, but also their character and professionalism.
A huge thank you to Christine McCommas for sponsoring three teams, Margaret Brown and Cory DiBacco for judging, and the PTSA Academic Boosters for their generous support. We’re so proud of this team!

Ethics Day is on Mar 12! Volunteers needed!
What is Ethics Day? Ethics Day is an off-campus experience for seniors featuring interactive ethical dilemmas—where there’s no single “right” answer. It helps students build lifelong decision-making skills and is a fun way for parents to see how our seniors think.
This annual event wouldn’t be possible without parent and community volunteers. Sign up here to help!
