- Fauquier High School is a public secondary school in Warrenton, Virginia. The school is part of Fauquier County Public Schools and is located on 705 Waterloo Road.
- History
-
Fauquier opened in 1963 and is the oldest high school in Fauquier County. Fauquier has served a primarily rural area, but has experienced a high rate of growth since the 1990s, which led to Liberty High School's opening in 1994, and Kettle Run High School's recent opening in the fall of 2008.
- The motto is Mente Manuque - Latin for "With Hand and Mind"
- Accreditation
-
Fauquier High School is a fully accredited high school based on its performance on the Standards of Learning tests in Virginia.
- Academics
-
Many Fauquier students go on to Virginia colleges and universities, like Virginia Tech, George Mason, James Madison, and University of Virginia, while most of the remaining graduates move on to out-of-state institutions or stay local to Fauquier County and attend Lord Fairfax Community College.
- Students in the music department compete at the county, district, state, and East Coast level, often earning top chairs. They have a large marching band program which recently won its Third US Scholastic Band Association State Championship in Four Years.
- In 2007, the Fauquier Marching Band won the Marine Corps Invitational and the coveted Esprit d'Corps award performing their show "Monopoly!"
- Athletics
-
The mascot is a falcon and the sports teams currently play in the AAA Cedar Run District and Northwest Region. The Falcons have also played in the AAA Commonwealth District for many years, and had a couple stints in the AA Northwestern District, right after Liberty opened.
- The Falcons won two sports state championships, the 2002 AA Boys Outdoor Track title and the 2005 AA Girls Outdoor Track title. The boys basketball team also won awards for sportsmanship in 1991 as an AAA school and in 1997 as an AA school. In 1997 the girls' soccer team won the AA region championship, but there was no state championship competition that year. In 2004, the girls' softball team won the AA Northwestern District title and advanced to the state championship. The wrestling team is quite notorious for producing multiple state placers each year, also. They were AAA Cedar Run District Champions in 2006, 2007, and 2008. In 2008, the Wrestling team placed 3rd in the Virginia AAA State Tournament. Their men's tennis team is also held in high regard.
