School Notes:
  • Langley High School is a public secondary school in McLean, Virginia. It is a part of the Fairfax County Public Schools system and serves the McLean and Great Falls communities. Langley's attendance zone stretches as east as Fairfax County's boundary with Arlington County and as west as the county's border with Loudoun County.
  • History: Langley High School opened in 1965 in order to accommodate an overcrowded McLean High School, located nearby. According to tax records, which assess the school at $31.87 million, Langley is situated on 42 acres of land.
  • During the last 40 years, Langley has undergone several extensive renovations, including the construction of what is now known as Hertzler Hall. Currently, Langley is slated to be renovated by the end of the decade.
  • Academics: The LHS academic program follows standard Virginia guidelines, requiring 24 credits for graduation. Additionally provided at Langley is the Advanced Placement (AP) program. Langley offers one of the most comprehensive AP programs available, featuring more than 20 AP level classes in every discipline.
  • As of 2003, Langley was the only school in the FCPS system to offer AP Macro/Microeconomics. Additionally significant courses (which are exclusive to Langley) include the school's Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra classes, which are taught via closed-circuit television, and AP Russian Language (Langley is one of only a few high schools in the nation piloting the new AP Russian course, not only the AP class - the Russian course in general).
  • SAT Scores: In 2006 the mean SAT score was 1,804 (597 in Critical Reading, 612 in Math, and 595 in Writing). Langley's SAT averages are the highest of all the comprehensive Fairfax County high schools (Jefferson's SAT average is higher, but it is a magnet school).
  • Athletics: Langley plays in the AAA Liberty District of the Northern Region. The Langley sports teams are all referred to as the "Saxons" (or "Lady Saxons" for some women-only sports), and their primary rival is McLean High School. The Girl's Swim and Dive Team won districts in 05-06.
  • In 2006, Langley varsity football defeated their bitter rival Mclean, for an eleventh consecutive year, 21-14.
  • Notable alumni: Paula Cale, Actress; Steve Czaban, Radio Personality; G. David Low, Astronaut; Lauren Graham, Actress; Lauren E. Roman, Actress.
