The South Lakes High School STEAM Team has successfully installed their 9^th work, Rise, on the Lake Thoreau spillway!

Rise is inspired by the rapid development of Reston and represents the growing success of our town that was founded on humble beginnings.

The objective interpretation of Rise is the growth of the population and literal construction of high-rises and infrastructure. Furthermore, Rise abstractly represents the community’s goals of reaching new heights in progress, innovation, and diversity.
