Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS), with district offices located in Manassas, Virginia, is the third largest school district in the State with 75 schools and over 63,000 students. At the beginning of the next academic year, it will be opening two new state-of-the-art schools to bring its total number of high schools to 10.
Freedom High School in Woodbridge, Virginia – named in memory of victims of the September 11th, 2001, tragedy that came from Prince William County – will be opening its doors to 1,100 students from very diverse socio-economic backgrounds. The School will specialize in the environmental sciences and boast a wet-pond, a large butterfly garden, a greenhouse and an eight-byfour-foot aquarium designed to mimic the nearby Potomac River.
Battlefield High School in Haymarket, Virginia, gets its name from the area's involvement in the Civil War; the historic site of the Battle of Manassas is located nearby. When the School starts this coming academic year, around 1,100 students will attend, and many will be very enthusiastic about its specialization in information technology.
PWCS already is known as a national leader in sitebased management of schools, and part of its success comes from a policy of standardizing infrastructure components. With regard to its information technology environment, PWCS has chosen to standardize on HP. The goal behind the vendor rationalization effort is to reduce complexity, thereby removing cost and pain from managing IT environments district-wide.
