Chris Yung Elementary School will welcome students, parents, and teachers for the first time this year.
A ribbon cutting for the new school will take place Thursday, August 27, 2015 at 6 p.m. at the school located at 12612 Fog Light Way in Bristow.
The school is named after Prince William County Police Officer Chris Yung who was killed in the line of duty on New Year's Eve 2012. His family will attend the ribbon cutting ceremony, according to Prince William County Public Schools spokesman Phil Kavits.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony is open to the public.
Chris Yung Elementary School is the only new school opening this year in the Prince William school division. The elementary school was formerly known as the "Devlin Road elementary school" while it was under construction.
Community members urged school officials to name the new school after the fallen police officer.
Yung, 35, was responding to a call for help on his police motorcycle when he was hit by a minivan, outside a Target store on Sowder Village Way in Bristow.
Yung was a Marine and was known for his kindness and dedication to the police force and the community. His death brought together community members for a series of vigils, a memorial parade, and a massive funeral in remembrance of the fallen officer.
