A Dynasty Of Pride Begins Exhibiting their Panther Pride, members of the band front make it clear who they think is Numero Uno! We’ve come a long way since August 25, 1979, the day Potomac Senior High School was born. The class of 1983, our first graduating class began their high school career in the building now known as Saunders Middle School all alone as ninth graders. They spent the whole year and half the next year in the Saunders Building; then with the new ninth graders, the class of 1984, they moved into the new Potomac High School Building at the beginning of the second semester. Those two classes had the honor of making choices that were to become traditions for the new school. Selecting the school colors, mascot, naming the newspaper and yearbook were some important decisions made by the classes of 1983 and 1984. The pride and spirit exemplified by the first graduating classes has been a model for us. The 1984 seniors known as “The class with class” was a class of distinction. Earning the highest SAT scores in Prince William Coun¬ ty, they proved what they could do academically. They demonstrated as much prowess on the athletic fields as they did in the classroom. They helped Potomac capture seventeen district, six regional and one state title in three years of varsity com¬ petition. At the beginning of this year we were the defending District champs in: football, volleyball, golf, wrestling, boys’ tennis, softball, and baseball. In addition we were regional champs in golf, volleyball, and softball. The unity and pride continued with this year’s seniors, known as “the slow starting but always pulling through class.” They showed that they were ready for the race by doing an outstanding job on their part for homecoming. Spirits were running high. Even though the spirit award was lost to the juniors, Seniors deserved an A for effort. We are grateful for the support of our parent booster organiza¬ tions. Without their assistance many of the accomplishments of the past five years would not have been possible. Parental support keeps Potomac going strong. With much interest and hard work, Potomac parents take pride in our school. At a Students Against Drunk Driving meeting.
