Manassas City Public Schools
Manassas City Public Schools is developing a new strategic plan set to launch in July 2027 that will guide the division through Fiscal Years 2028-2032. The plan will retain the current “student academic success supported by pillars” framework but deepen each pillar with more specific strategies and performance metrics.
Jennifer Cassata, Executive Director of Accountability and Finance, presented the update at the June 23, 2026, MCPS School Board meeting. She outlined the multi-phase process that began with a strategic plan steering committee convening in December 2025. The committee, representing all schools and the central office, reviewed the existing vision and mission statements and identified potential core values.In spring 2026 (Phase 1), input was gathered through meetings with principals and assistant principals, central office departments, cabinet discussions, and focus groups with teacher and school-based support staff. Board members provided additional feedback during the prior week’s retreat.
“Today, Osbourn High School celebrated the Class of 2026 during graduation at EagleBank Arena,” Manassas City Public Schools announced. “Surrounded by family, friends, staff, and supporters, graduates crossed the stage and officially completed their journey as MCPS students.”
“Congratulations to the Class of 2026 on this incredible accomplishment — your hard work, perseverance, and dedication have led to this special moment, and we cannot wait to see what comes next for each of you.”
