Woodgrove High School Opens on Tuesday, September 7, 2010

Since the beginning of my current term on the School Board, I’ve concluded my board member’s comments with “ Woodgrove High School must be built!”. That will soon become a reality. The Board of Supervisors, the School Board and the Purcellville town Council have signed an agreement so that Woodgrove High School can open on Tuesday, September 7, 2010. That is only 618 days away. It has been eight long years in the coming, but as Dan Cook, a Texas sports announcer, once said, “the opera ain’t over til the fat lady sings”, so we need to be vigilant in ensuring that the school opens then. If you hear any rumors that the date may change, please contact me or your district’s school board member immediately.

Since I have been on the School Board, we have opened up over 20 new schools; this has become so routine that we don't have groundbreaking ceremonies. Because of the tremendous amount of effort that has gone in to opening Woodgrove, I'm hoping that we can have a groundbreaking ceremony involving the town of Purcellville, the Board of Supervisors the School Board later this spring.
