Brentsville
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Brentsville District High School is a public secondary school in Nokesville, Virginia and part of Prince William County Public Schools. It is the only high school in Prince William County considered to be in a developing rural community.
Brentsville officially opened on September 5, 1929, and hosted grades one through eleven. From 1929 to 1964, Brentsville existed in the building that currently exists as Nokesville Elementary School. In 1964, the school moved to its new building located on Aden road, and over the years additions were made to the building's structure, with the most recent being a new gym building, with the old gym becoming the school's current library. In the 2005-2006 school year, Brentsville was 82 percent White, 6 percent Black, 8 percent Hispanic and 4 percent Asian.
Brentsville's mascot is the tiger and the sports teams currently play in the AA Northwestern District and Region II. Because Brentsville is the only Prince William County school that does not play in Group AAA, they rarely play schools in their county in athletic activities. Nevertheless, the school still takes pride in it storied wrestling and cross country championship histories, with Sports Illustrated Magazine in 2005 deeming this school as the top athletic school in Virginia. The school has also been a recipient of the Blue Ribbon Academic School award.
The mission of Brentsville High School for the administration, faculty, staff, students, and community is to promote academic excellence by providing opportunities and instruction through which all students can become proficient in literacy and math.
