Take a look at the new Prince William County School Board.
Pictured from left to right: Willie Deutsch, Coles District, Diane Raulston, Neabsco District, Ryan Sawyers, Chairman At-large, Lillie Jessie, Occoquan District, Dr. Steven Walts, Prince William County Schools Superintendent, Loree Williams, Woodbridge District, Gil Trenum, Brentsville District, Alyson Satterwhite, Gainesville District, and Justin Wilk, Potomac District.
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.
On Saturday, December 5, Manassas will host its annual Christmas Parade in Downtown.

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.
