School board seeks to take site for 14th high school via eminent domain

The Prince William School Board has launched eminent domain proceedings to acquire its chosen site for the county’s 14th high school, which is hoped to open in 2024
If the school division is successful in acquiring the property, it would directly impact the attendance area of Osbourn Park High School. But its mid-county location means the new school could also affect the boundaries of eastern Prince William County high schools, which include Colgan, Forest Park, Hylton, Freedom, Gar-Field and Woodbridge high schools.

Each of those high schools are projected to be between 72 and 513 students overcapacity by 2023, according to school division enrollment projections. Freedom and Colgan high schools are projected to be the most overcrowded by 2023, with each at about 500 students overcapacity.

Osbourn Park High is projected to be 432 students overcapacity, and Woodbridge High is projected to be 450 students overcapacity.

Prince William County has apparently found a home for its 14th high school.
Without comment Wednesday evening, the Prince William County School Board approved the purchase of one 20-acre parcel near Minnieville and Telegraph roads for the new high school, which is set to open in 2025.
The school board agreed to pay $2,718,198 for the parcel at 13205 Telegraph Road. It was most recently assessed in 2020 for $1.44 million, according to Prince William County land records.

The school board had not yet mentioned the purchase of the land during the school board meeting, which began at 7 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 17.

any updates?

None. Not even a name. Probably a bit too early for that as it's scheduled to open in 2026.
