    From Potomac High School

    Potomac High School opened in January 1981, with only a freshman class. Today Potomac has between 1950 to 2000 students in grades 9-12 who reflect the diversity of the surrounding neighborhoods. Potomac was named for its view of the Potomac River.

    Potomac's diversity is it greatest strength. From academics to athletics, Potomac students and faculty reflect pride in their school. Potomac has been recognized as a School of Excellence and has met or exceeded all required criteria for Virginia's Standards of Learning (SOL), through the installation of our core values. Students will behave at all times with Panther pride, will respect others and themselves through honesty and character, will obey all school policies and will encourage others through my words and actions.
