New high school to use old floor plan after School Board motion fails

School officials will move ahead with a plan to use a 20-year-old design for the county's newest high school.

The "13th high school" will be built somewhere in western Prince William County -- either at a proffered site at the yet-to-be-approved Stonehaven development or Rollins Ford Road on a site bequeathed to the county by its former owner to be used for parkland.

The new school will cost $73.7 million and is slated to open in fall 2020. The price tag includes $4.3 million in needed improvements to the school building that make it complaint with current building codes, to include vestibules to entrances, and energy efficiency improvements to the roof and HVAC unit.
