The Fairfax County School Board envi¬ sioned and formulated plans for a new school, Lake Braddock, in 1968. At this point in time the Glen Construction Company came into the picture. Un¬ der their instruction twenty sub-con¬ tractors were appointed to help with the building of our school. Our school was the result of the high population growth and many new sub¬ divisions being built in the,,area. The choice of constructing an ‘‘open school” was made by the School Board because the public and educa¬ tional responses to this concept had been enthusiastic. The groundwork began in October of 1971 for what was to be the predece- sor of a new and innovative concept in modern education—Lake Braddock Secondary School. Life was given to a unique institution in which the recent open-classroom theory of teaching re¬ placed the more traditional methods. Under his care, supervision, never end¬ ing interest, and after many months of staff and curriculum planning at Robinson Secondary School, Mr. John Alwood, the school’s principal, first in¬ troduced Lake Braddock to the com¬ munity in January of 1972.

In April, 1973, while the construction crews worked on the unique habitat for the Braddock Bruins, a mass meeting of about 300 future Lake Braddock students from Robinson and West Springfield High Schools was held for the purpose of choosing the school colors, purple and gold. The development of the school’s own identity, character and spirit had begun, only to culminate with the ori¬ entation meetings in May. These ses¬ sions enabled Mr. Alwood and three other staff members Mr. Price, Mr. Carson and Mrs. Walker, to inform stu¬ dents from area elementary, junior and senior high schools about the novel change in education, to which the students reacted with enthusiasm and positive responses. August 1, 1973, was the day when the cold, expansive building of red brick and cement was transformed into a home, full of people who were interested in creating unity between teacher and student, faculty and com¬ munity introduction 7
