Some students who now attend Brentsville, Forest Park, Hylton, and Osbourn Park high schools must decide if they want to stay at their schools, or attend the new Colgan High School opening next year.
For affected students, Colgan High School will become their “base” school because they live within the boundaries of the new school.Â
Students must make their decision and notify Prince William County Public Schools by December 1.Â
Here’s more in a press release:Â
Facing December 1 deadline:Â
Current HS sophomores living inside the Colgan boundaries have a one-time choice of whether to accept their boundary-based assignment to Colgan as their new “base school,” or stay with their current “base school.”
• Indicate the “base school” decision by turning in the signed bottom portion of the “decision letter” to the student’s current PWCS high school before its office closes for the day on December 1. No further action is needed if the form was already submitted. Decision letters were sent to eligible students in October.
Print a decision form for submission if the original letter is unavailable.
• All students may apply for admission to PWCS Specialty Programs regardless of their “base school” decision. Specialty Program admission is subject to separate PWCS regulations.
Not Facing December 1 deadline:
Current freshmen living inside the Colgan boundaries do not have a “base school” decision to make. Except for the sophomores identified above, all base school assignments are determined by enrollment boundaries and are not subject to choice.
• Previous letters to freshmen were intended only to confirm their boundarybased assignment and specialty program options.
• All students may apply for admission to Specialty Programs subject to PWCS regulations.
• Acceptance in a Specialty Program does not change the “base school” designations.
Colgan High School is located on Route 234 near Hoadly Road and includes the county’s first aquatics facility to be built inside a county school.
