South County Middle School Dedication Wednesday
The home of the Mustangs has seen its first school year.
South County Middle School has one school year nearly under its belt, and the school will officially be dedicated on Wednesday.
The dedication ceremony will be held at the school at 3:15 p.m.
In 2008, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors allocated $10 million to the school system to build an addition to South County Secondary School (which is now a high school due to the opening of the middle school), which packed the building over capacity with middle and high school students. So, that same year, the Board voted to build South County Middle School instead, and saved $35 million by using the development plans for Glasgow Middle School and swapping land with the Fairfax County Park Authority.
