  1. On-Time Graduation Excellence: Langley High School has an outstanding 99.6% on-time graduation rate. This reflects our commitment to guiding students to success with personalized support and exceptional teaching.
  2. Pathway to Success: An impressive 94% of Langley graduates pursue higher education, reflecting our focus on college readiness. We cultivate an environment where students are inspired to aim high and achieve their goals.
  3. Top-Ranked School: Ranked #2 in Virginia by U.S. News & World Report, Langley sets the standard for academic excellence. Our dedication to quality education places us among the best in the nation. We are a school of excellence. 
  4. Championship Culture: Langley has secured over 23 state and national championships since 2018. Most recently, our Golf and Girls' Volleyball teams have captured State Championships, highlighting our competitive spirit. From athletics to academics, we foster a culture of achievement and perseverance.
  5. Vibrant Student Life: With over 150 student clubs, Langley offers endless opportunities to explore interests and build connections. Our diverse extracurriculars ensure every student finds their place and passion.
  6. Committed to Service: Over 300 students participate in 13 monthly service opportunities through the Saxon Service program. This initiative fosters a strong sense of community and the importance of giving back.
  7. National Merit: For the 2024-2025 school year, Langley honored 68 students who have been recognized by College Board as National Merit Commended students and 19 students who have qualified as a Semifinalist. These students participated in a nationwide competition conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corp. by taking the PSAT last October. 50,000 of the highest scorers nationwide qualified for this designation, and of those high scorers, 16,000 were designated semifinalists, representing less than one percent of US high school seniors.  
  8. Award-Winning Music: Langley's music programs have consistently earned Virginia Blue Ribbon status for over a decade. This recognition underscores our dedication to artistic excellence and student talent.
  9. Nationally Ranked MUN: Our Model United Nations program is ranked #1 in the nation, setting the bar for excellence. This fall, the team competed at the University of Virginia and Princeton University’s Model United Nations competitions for high school students, placing 1st as the Best Large Team delegation and earning numerous individual awards. Langley students develop leadership, diplomacy, and critical thinking skills that set them apart.
  10. Langley LEAP: Each year, our senior students are provided the opportunity to find an internship for the final weeks of school.  This opportunity allows them to explore career paths and  learn more about themselves. Last school year, 420 members of the Class of 2024 participated in the internship program.  Students participated in various incredible experiences and shared their reflections with students, staff, and community members.
