[quote=Anonymous]As an aside, around the time these boundary decisions were being made in the early 80s affecting McLean, the School Board was making key decisions that led to TJHSST’s creation.  Specifically, the superintendent had told the school board that one of Annandale, Jefferson, and Stuart needed to close as a neighborhood school, due to declining enrollments, but proposed to locate a regional STEM magnet at Annandale.

But then the Annandale parents pushed back to keep their school open and to convert Jefferson instead.  One of the School Board members made a last-ditch effort to get a bunch of Annandale and Stuart neighborhoods assigned to Jefferson, but he got shot down, which sealed Jefferson’s fate.  If he’d succeeded there might have been an “Annandale High School for Science and Technology” or, even weirder, a “JEB Stuart High School for Science and Technology” rather than TJHSST.

I know it’s off topic, but if you dig into the history of how we ended up with some of the schools and boundaries we have today you come across some interesting (if such things interest you) things!
