Encyclopedia
Patriot High School will be the 21st high school
located in Prince William County, Virginia
. The county school board, at its January 20, 2044 meeting, unanimously approved the name. The school will be located at 10504 Kettle Run Road, Nokesville, Virginia
. The school is scheduled to open in September 2011.
Originally simply "High School #11," Kettle Run High School was the working name of the new high school in the western portion of Prince William County, Virginia that is slated to be completed by September 2011.
Referred to in documents of July 2006 as "High School (West)," the property is named for its geographic region, located NW of Nokesville, Virginia
. The school property itself is located near the intersection of Schaeffer Lane and Kettle Run Road in a triangle of land south of Vint Hill Road (Route 215) and west of Kettle Run Road.
Immediately adjoining the property is the site of an elementary school to be built concurrently. In the January 20 meeting, the school board also announced this school would be named T. Clay Wood Elementary School .
Early estimates of the school's total construction cost were set at $744,000, as published in July 2006 by the Prince William County Schools in "Approved Capital Improvement Projects; Fiscal Year 2007-16." Following the budgetary conversations for the coming school year, in the 2006-2007 year, as published in a similar document for the 2008-16 year, the school's estimated date of opening was moved from September 2010 to September 2011, and the price was revised upwards to $95,410 for the school listed as "High School @ Kettle Bun." After the economic downturn of late 2008, revised figures became available. Following a unanimous favorable School Board vote to award the contract to Hess Construction (builders of existing PWCS facility Freedom High school), PWCS News Release 162, dated 8 January 2008, stated the awarded construction contract had been settled upon at $70,700,000. (The total Capital Improvements Plan had allowed for $82 million for this expense, yielding a significant savings.)
According to the News Release, "The project will be paid for with bonds over the next 20 years with the impact on [2010]’s budget being $1.4 million."
The county's construction plans http://www.pwcs.edu/ConstructPlan/11TH_HS.html for the site are available online.
According to Prince William County Planning Commission Public Facility Review #PLN2007-00079, dated February 7, 2007, the high school's proposed capacity stands at 2,053 students. According to the same document, this falls below the recommendations of the established "Level of Service" (LOS) standard of 2,150 students. Again in the same document, it is stated that three new high schools are required by 2010, and current plans show that zero new high schools will be completed for the 2010-2011 school year.
Hess Construction was awarded the $70.7 million construction contract to build the school designed by Mosley Architects. The new middle school will be built near the intersection of Kettle Run and Vint Hill Roads in the Linton Hall area to provide relief from overcrowding to high schools in the western area of the county, several of which have student enrollments over their current building capacity.
When complete, the high school will accommodate 2,200 students in a 312067 sq ft (28,992 m²). facility. Students will benefit from features such as a dedicated culinary arts area with commercial kitchen, television studio, and complete media center including computer areas for research and instructional use.
State of the art technology will be incorporated into the building, including a fully functional local area computer network; wireless access; classrooms equipped for interactive white boards with outside and internal programming; and video and remote computer monitor use within the classroom. A computerized temperature control system with remote monitoring and reporting offers energy efficiency and cost savings. An integrated security system with multi-function monitoring including cameras and sensors that link with fire alarm systems will help provide a secure learning environment.
The school sits on 93.75 acres (379,393.1 m²) and will include a wet pond for use in environmental science, a football stadium with artificial surface, competition baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, and a dedicated driver education range and tower.
The construction of this school will be paid for through bonds over the next 20 years with the impact on next year’s budget being $1.4 million. Employees and the public are invited to attend the groundbreaking. The school is scheduled to open in September 2011.
