Does any PP have a dog in the fight?
MYOB. |
Yes, as taxpayers and FCPS families, we all have a “dog in the fight.” Are you the same person who keeps posting a similar sentiment in the Hayfield report thread? |
LOL paying taxes does not really mean any school name affects you at all, especially if it’s not the one your home is zoned for |
Sigh. I assume you’re a teen being a troll or an immigrant who doesn’t understand how democracy works. |
I live right next to the school. My kids will go to this school. I pay taxes in this county. My sister is hoping to teach at this school. Yes, I think I have a dog in this fight. |
My home is likely to be zoned here and I hate the name. More importantly, my kids don't like it. |
To be fair, 50% of Americans don't appear to understand how democracy works. I suspect you are one of them. |
| I hope people don’t get lost on Route 81 looking for this school, only to find it’s closer to Route 28. |
+1 Again, people who live in the area moved here for suburban living. Not for the airport. So many contractors with TS clearances in the area--might as well call it SpyValley. Spyview? or? Reid's Fantasy High |
| Yet another subtle clue that we are looking at aviation based magnet school in the near future. |
Technically Reid recommended two names. It's the school board main motion. On January 22, 2026, the Superintendent amended her formal recommendation to the School Board to include the following two names: Skyview High School Western High School Superintendent Recommendation: I move that the School Board vote to select one of the Superintendent's recommendations as the name of the school division’s new high school in western Fairfax County. School Board Main Motion: I move that the School Board name its property at 2949, 2950, and 2954 Education Drive, Herndon, Virginia as Skyview High School (SD/ ) |
| I'll take Skyview over the incredibly generic Western anytime. |
| Reid is trying to emphasize her stupid aviation pathway. She really wants to claim she did something "special" with this school, even though the public and the board all voted for the traditional school that we want and need. She just won't let it go. |
agreee |
+1 more who lives in the area. This is not what the community wants. And, why did she not go with a local name? I prefer Oak Hill, but Floris, Horsepen Run, Sully, Frying Pan. Something that defines the local community. |
