[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hutchison is NOWHERE near Centreville or Chantilly HS. Maybe they could take some of EC Lawrence park land and build a high school.[/quote]

Hutchison has no redeeming qualities for a new high school.  The neighborhoods who are closest are: Herndon; South Lakes; and Westfield.  They'd have to take those neighborhoods from South Lakes that they fought so hard to get.

There are neighborhoods along Lee Highway near Centreville that border Centreville High School, and get sent to Fairfax--read the comment section in the boundary survey--many comments that their kids should be at Centreville or Chantilly, and not Fairfax.

The Hutchison site makes no sense.  It appears that some want it there because it would take some low income kids out of Herndon High.  The irony, of course, is that the new Metro will increase higher income people in that corridor.  I suspect that the current Hutchison neighborhoods will get rebuilt and renovated.

When Herndon/Langley boundaries were set, Herndon had nowhere near the low income kids it does now.  Neighborhoods change.  [/quote]

So seed a new HS with kids from Herndon, Westfield and South Lakes.  Move part of Centreville to Westfield, part of Chantilly to Centreville, part of Oakton to South Lakes, and part of Langley to Herndon.
