Fun Little Project: Update

Loudoun County High School, from Lord Loudoun 1955

Well, it's been a while. A summer passed, and I was barely in Loudoun. It's sad to say it but I've moved on from LCPS history. Nearly a year has gone past when I announced I had a fun secret project. It was supposed to be my major finale... and still will be, mind you. I finished it a long time ago, but it was never published anywhere. I've held off on posting anything, in case the powers-that-be have plans they have not shared with me, but I thought I would at least share what the project is.

Can you keep a secret, Internet? I wrote... a history of Loudoun County High School. I thought it would be terrifying. And it was. An almost 60 year old building? Lots to cover. Not to mention it's my alma mater, so I can't just write completely terribly.

So where is it? It's been given to the school. The 60th is coming up soon (2014!), so it could be they are waiting for that. If the 60th passes and it doesn't appear, I will post it here.

Loudoun County High School is one of the schools that really deserves a history written on it, yet none exists. I hope I did it justice.

News on the Sterling Annex Building

[Update August 2023: This school has now been demolished. Check out Sterling Annex DEMO DAY 1]


This news came out in April of this year. This probably spells doom for the former school building / community center.



[* As happened from my first post, the online trail of information for this property keeps disappearing. The Leesburg Today newspaper was bought by the Loudoun Times Mirror. Their online archive of articles has been deleted.]
