History

The school was originally opened in September 1954 as the Luther P. Jackson High School, the first high school for black students in Fairfax County.[1] The school was named after noted African American historian and civil rights activist Luther P. Jackson.

It remained a segregated school until 1965, when the school was integrated and converted to an intermediate school.[1]
