The student auto sales (sas) program is a unique and innovative program in the commonwealth as it is the only high school based automotive dealership. Vehicles are generously donated by the community to one of the 13 automotive programs within fcps and assessed for sale. Saleable vehicles are repaired by automotive students and resold by the dealership. Students are exposed to the entire process and mirrors that of a dealership: evaluation, repair, preparation for sale, va inspection, pricing, and finally the sale. Vehicles are sold at our marshall academy dealership to walk-in buyers or sold on a public auction site.for the 2024-25 school year, ending third quarter march 28, 2025, sas received 158 donations and sold 88 vehicles which translated into $186,018 in sales.

A total of 18 homes are slotted for completion and to date, thirteen homes have been finished by the students and community partners. Fate and fcps have had meetings with fairfax county executives and private industry personnel hoping to identify future sites. This is vitally important to the mission of fate and the success of the students of fairfax county public schools. The process of identifying and securing a suitable building site is extremely time consuming and once a site is found, there can be years of preparation before we can begin building.
