Upcoming Events for Prince William County Residents
It’s important to participate in the process, even if you do not live in the district where the action takes place. We are all connected in Prince William County, whether you live in the Eastern or Western side of the county, whether you live in an HOA or non-HOA community, or whether you own a home or rent one.
The decisions made by the government, school board, business, and even the not-for-profits affect you and your family every day. If you haven’t been involved, there’s no better time than now to start. Here are a few events to get you going:

Public Meeting on Re-interment of 12th High School Graves
Monday, December 16 7:00 PM
Board Meeting Room of the Edward Kelly Leadership Center
14715 Bristow Road
Manassas, Va
Archaeologists and others have completed study of the fragmentary remains from graves previously hidden beneath trees and brush that had grown for decades. Insights and historical information will be presented so local residents can weigh in on appropriate ways to recognize and reinter the historic discoveries.
Those wishing to address the meeting may:
- Notify the Board Clerk in writing at P.O. Box 389, Manassas, VA 20108; by phone at 703.791.8709; or by email at pwcsclerk@pwcs.edu prior to noon on the day of the Board meeting to be placed on the list of speakers; or
- Sign onto the list of speakers maintained at the entrance to the School Board meeting room at the beginning of the meeting, but prior to 6:55 p.m. on the evening of the meeting.
Please provide your name, address, phone number. In keeping with Board policy, all registered speakers will receive three minutes to present their views, which will be considered in subsequent Board deliberations.
Exhumation and relocation of the graves was necessitated by timing and budget for school construction, combined with the unique site attributes that restrict the flexibility of the project. See a timeline, updated information, and other details.
