Senator Charles Colgan toured the newest high school in Prince William County this week.
The $110 million is the school is named after the retired 90-year-old senator, will include the county’s first in-school swimming pool and aquatics facility, and will open in September.
From Prince William County Public Schools:
Former Virginia Senator Charles Colgan declared Prince William County’s 12th high school “a treasure,” following a sneak-preview tour of the school that will bear his name. The Charles J Colgan Sr. High School will be dedicated August 22 and open for classes a week later.
Senator Colgan toured the school June 15. With construction nearing completion, furniture and equipment are arriving daily. He was joined by School Board members, Ryan Sawyers (Chairman), Alyson Satterwhite (Gainesville), and Lillie Jessie (Vice-Chair, Occoquan).
No members of the press attended the tour.
“We did not promote this as a media event, as it was intended to give Senator Colgan an opportunity for an informal first visit.”
— Prince William County Public Schools spokesman Phil Kavits.
School officials said they announced the tour on the school division’s website June 1.
The tour was given just days before the School Board was set to vote on a new, more expensive design for the county’s 13th high school, and to take a vote to rescind a controversial move to hold the contract of a school principal involved in a lawsuit with School Board Chairman Ryan Sawyers.
High school students who live off Hoadly Road and Route 234 will attend Colgan High School. The school will be home for students in the school division’s fine and performing arts program.
Colgan retired from the Virginia Senate in January as the longest-serving state senator in the commonwealth.
