Team Organization
Like many other Fairfax County middle schools, Rachel Carson is divided into ten "teams", which are very similar to the idea of high school sub-schools. The teams are as follows:
- 7th grade
- A - All-Stars (AAP)
- B - Trailblazers (AAP)
- C - Champions (AAP)
- D - Dream Team
- E - Explorers
- 8th grade
- V - Voyagers
- W - Wolves
- X - X-Treme Team (AAP)
- Y - Yellow Jackets (AAP)
- Z - Dolphins (AAP)
Each team has its own set of locker pods and core classrooms (Science, English, History/Civics, and Mathematics), and students usually attend classes within their team. However, in many cases, students are assigned teachers in other pods, especially in the case of math, where the courses that students take vary widely.

Famous quotes containing the words team and/or organization:
“giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
