And so on that memorable day, September 1, 1954, former students of Fair- fax and Mount Vernon High Schools entered the doors for the beginning of Annandale High School. From the start it was evident that every nick and cranny was filled and there would be no room for the incoming eighth graders and new pupils. Again thoughts turned towards construction. This time the contract for a twelve- room addition was let to the Wayne Construction Company on December 2, 1954. The completion date was set for August 1, 1955. The cost for the addi- tion is $162,691.20, bringing the total cost for the entire building to $1,824,209.84.

This was the first real step toward the dream of a high school at Annandale. After all the plans had been made, the problems of how to finance it was studied. Federal funds allocated amounted to $850,000. Fairfax County set aside $821,518.65 for construction only. The total cost of the original building was $1,661,518.64.
