Mariana Pavon

Grades 5 and 7 Science Teacher

"I feel incredibly supported here at Congressional. Colleagues go out of their way to be friendly, we have all the educational resources we could ask for, and administration has been wonderful."

JULIO-L

Julio Lopez Martinez

Auxiliary Program Coordinator

"I love working at Congressional because it feels like home to me. I feel like I am a part of an inclusive team with a strong, driven focus to deliver exceptional education and care to our students to prepare them for the future. I think it says a lot when we look at the number of faculty students that we have. It tells me that we are truly dedicated to what we do and we are confident in the quality of education that we deliver, so much that we have many faculty/staff members who send their children to Congressional. Parents only want the best for their kids, and at Congressional, we only deliver the best."

Maura Rice

Jr. Kindergarten Teacher

"One of the best things about Congressional are the people! Your colleagues become like a second family—you can reach out for advice, a new spin on a lesson, or just a supportive ear. We help one another and genuinely care about each other’s success-personally and professionally."
