[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]Does any HS gym in this area fill up regularly for sporting events?  I cannot pretend that FHS has successful sports teams beyond field hockey ... and maybe football recently.  For better or worse, I haven't gone to many "away" contests at other schools.

As far as graffiti in a bathroom, I'm trusting that the poster reported it to someone.[/quote]

I don’t think any gym or stadium fills up except for rivalry games and Fairfax is kind of an odd man out now with respect to rivals.  Does Woodson still consider Fairfax its main rival?  Oakton doesn’t, nor does Centreville.  [/quote]

The city likely built a very large gym and stadium to support large scale civic events in addition to sports. I don’t see how just a rivalry game could fill it up. Maybe if the high school grew to 3,500 students it would fill up, but the city’s school board can block FCPS from growing the school any larger.

The City of Fairfax builds its own schools (not FCPS), and the current high school was built back in the 70s or 80s. It replaced the small and very old red brick Fairfax High School on Route 50 (built in the 1920s). [/quote]
