About Our New Logo
Our new logo reflects the many dimensions of Fredericksburg City Public Schools, a system defined by connection, growth, and purpose. The interwoven lines represent the process of learning itself: dynamic, evolving, and rooted in the creation of new connections. Just as synapses in the brain build understanding through interaction, our students, staff, and community strengthen and expand through shared learning experiences.
The geometric framework also symbolizes the physical spaces where learning occurs across our city. When overlaid on a map of Fredericksburg, each blue point of connection aligns with one of our schools. The larger point indicates a shared site, emphasizing collaboration and shared purpose. All lines represent pathways connecting our schools across the City of Fredericksburg.
Together, these interconnected elements capture the essence of our division: We are a community of learners, growing through connection and commitment to Educating and Inspiring Every Child, Every Day.
