The public school system in Loudoun County was established in 1870 to fulfill the needs for free education after the Civil War and in an era of Reconstruction.
The LCPS system, while operated on a day-to-day basis by the Superintendent, is managed under the direction and authority of the Loudoun County School Board , a 9 member panel panel elected by citizens in the county. Eight of the nine positions are divided between voting districts that represent communities throughout the county while the ninth seat is elected at-large by the entire county. The voting districts are the same as used for Loudoun County Board Of Supervisor elections. Unlike the Board of Supervisors, the chairmanship of the School Board operates on a rotating basis between members, while the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors is specifically elected. While the School Board makes decisions relating to school policy and curriculum, it receives all funding from the Board of Supervisors, so both groups must work together to provide funding for new schools and land on which to build them.
All high schools serve grades 9-12 unless otherwise noted.
