The winners of the 2025 Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Virginia State Championship Fall Qualifier have been announced by Certiport, a Pearson Business, the leading provider of performance-based IT certification exams that accelerate people’s academic and career opportunities. Winning 10th in the Microsoft Office Specialist Word (Office 2019), category is Nathan Aguirre-Jimenez from Buffalo Gap High School, Swoope. Nathan Aguirre-Jimenez competed against students from across Virginia to earn this coveted placement.

To compete in the Fall Qualifier, students aged 13 to 22 were eligible to participate in one of six competition tracks by submitting a qualified, passing score on the MOS Word, Excel®, or PowerPoint® certification exams by December 19, 2025.

“We have seen amazing results from the MOS program at our school as students learn and validate key workforce skills,” said Elizabeth Ashby, Business & Information Technology Teacher. “The MOS U.S. National Championship further motivates them to get certified, and we are proud of these students who have proven to be the best in our state.

Update for October 2, 2025

We will be streaming our school board meeting tonight on Facebook as we have done in the past. The stream will remain archived/active for 30 days prior to it being removed. We will still work on getting the stream switched over to YouTube for future meetings.

Plan Moving Forward - Streaming and Archiving of School Board Meetings:

Previously, our School Board meetings were both hosted and archived through Facebook Live. Facebook has changed their archiving policy. Now all new Facebook Live videos are automatically deleted from Facebook pages and profiles after 30 days.

We will be moving this service to our Google Workspace accounts through YouTube, which allows us to host the videos indefinitely. The School Board meetings will still be available to the public and live. However, we will still be linking to them on Facebook for public access.
