[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, never did I say anything about a pool. And every traditional FCPS high school has a stadium. Sorry I want my kid to have the same experiences he currently gets if he is rezoned there.

Glad you’re excited for this rushed experiment for your kid, though![/quote]

I live in an area that could potentially get rezoned to KAA. What I'm seeing is parents of current or almost high schoolers not wanting to be moved there, and parents of younger kids excited about the possibility of a new high school. Which makes sense. But the reality is someone has to be the first group of students there and it may not be the same as a more established school for a few years. They aren't likely to wait to open it until they can promise an exactly equivalent experience. At some point parents have to accept that decisions are made around what will be best for hundreds or thousands of students moving forward not just this one group of kids currently in 9th grade. Such is life in a public school district.[/quote]

I had that experience of attending a new school.  I had gone to junior high school (7-9) and began as a tenth grader with a junior class in front of us.  So, I was in the second graduating class.

We had phenomenal teachers and that helped--though i'm not sure how much I appreciated that part at the time.

A lot was done by the staff to establish new "traditions" for us., etc.  We had yearbooks, etc., newspaper, and sports. , though not many winning teams.

It can be a good experience.  I just hope they get talented people to open the school and that they give it a good name so that there will be no need to change it in a few years.  Please don't choose a name to honor someone.
I've no ideas, at this point for a name.  Oak Hill is too close a name to Oakton, I think.[/quote]
