As part of our commitment to providing a home for Arlington Community High School by 2026, we are finalizing plans to welcome more than 250 ACHS students, faculty, and staff to HQ2’s Metropolitan Park in time for the 2026-27 school year. Since we selected Arlington as the home of our second headquarters in 2018, we have worked closely with the county and School Board to address one of the community’s most pressing issues – finding a location for ACHS which has never had a permanent home.
“We look forward to this bright and exciting new chapter for Arlington Community High School and our students and staff. Having a new dedicated learning space, custom-built to serve their needs in an accessible location, will make a world of difference for our students as they pursue their academic and professional goals,” said Dr. Francisco Durán, Superintendent of Arlington Public Schools. “We thank Amazon for their ongoing partnership in serving our students and commitment toward advancing equity and education in Arlington.”
“Arlington Community High School plays a vital role in the educational and career development of these 250 students and we’re thrilled to welcome them to our second headquarters in 2026,” said Holly Sullivan, Amazon’s vice president of worldwide economic development. “By providing a new location for ACHS, we’re able to help deliver on our commitment to the Arlington community, while helping to unlock new economic and job opportunities for our neighbors, today and in the future.”
Arlington Community High School serves a diverse student body of students ages 16 and older from across Arlington County, many of whom work full- or part-time jobs to support their families as they earn their high school diplomas. In addition to dedicated learning space at HQ2, students will have access to an adjacent 2.5 acre public park, community garden, dog run, and 14 local, small businesses.
Amazon’s partnership with ACHS is an important piece of the company’s broad commitment to being a good neighbor and trusted community partner. We have continued to focus our effort, time, and resources on partnering with nonprofits and community groups to address challenges like equity in education, sustainability, and affordable housing. To date, we have donated more than $239 million to local community organizations and our commitment to providing a home for ACHS will also reduce the long-term operating and capital cost for Arlington Public Schools.
