PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — If at first you try and don’t succeed, try again.
That’s what the Prince William County Public Schools will do with the apparent selection of a site for a new high school in western Prince William County.
Press release:
Final discussions are underway to secure the site for the 13th high school in Prince William County. School officials will share the preliminary school plan and its proposed location, address community concerns, and receive feedback at a public meeting on November 9 from 7-9 p.m. in the auditorium of Stonewall Jackson High School. The school is located at 8820 Rixlew Lane, Manassas.
The proposed site is on Linton Hall Road at Rollins Ford Road. The high school will relieve significant overcrowding at Patriot, Battlefield, and Stonewall Jackson High Schools.
For more information on the proposed 13th high school, visit https://facilitiesservices.pwcs.edu, or contact Maureen Hannan, Supervisor of Land Acquisition and CIP Planning, at 703.791.7313.
Last December, developers withdrew an application for Stone Haven — a 719-acre development that would have been located off Wellington Road, that would have brought a mix homes and businesses and an 80-acre school site on which to build a new high school.
Before the Stone Haven developers withdrawing their plans, Brentsville District Supervisor Jeanine Lawson proposed using land that is to be used to build Rollins Ford Park for a 13th high school, instead. That land is located on 69 acres at the intersection of Rollins Ford and Linton Hall roads.
The new high school will relieve overcrowding at Patriot and Stonewall Jackson high schools.
Lawson was one of the officials that did not support building a new high school on proffered land at the Stone Haven development. She argued that a school built at Stone Haven would open at capacity, with students from new homes in the development, and do little to ease overcrowding at nearby schools.
