Annandale High School

Here follows the school history as published by Fairfax County Public Schools on their website:

Opening Date: September 1, 1954

Annandale Neighborhood:
The Annandale community derives its name from a Scottish town and an English lord of the same name. For many years it was a toll station on Little River Turnpike. Until the late 1940's, it was the terminus of Columbia Pike and Gallows Road and the beginning of rural Fairfax County.

Today, Annandale, though not a city, town, or village of any description, is a thriving community of several shopping centers, many churches, the central campus of Northern Virginia Community College, and approximately 40,000 people. Annandale is not only known for its friendly and progressive people, but also for the high school that bears its name.
