Chantilly Pyramid Minority Student Achievement Committee Celebrates 25th Anniversary: The Chantilly Pyramid Student Achievement Committee celebrated its 25th anniversary Sunday in Fairfax, Va. Since its founding by late Chantilly High School (Chantilly, Va.) Parent-Teacher Association member Shirley O. Nelson in 1984, the Committee - an organization of parents working in partnership with Fairfax County Public Schools and the community to help minority students improve their academic aspirations - has evolved from an ad hoc church committee to a 501 tax-exempt nonprofit with an all-volunteer 15-member executive board and approximately 100 members annually.
