AAA PATRIOT DISTRICT

The 'AAA Patriot District' is a high school conference in the state of Virginia that includes schools from eastern Fairfax County and Alexandria City. AAA is the largest enrollment class and also typically the most competitive level in Virginia high school sports. The Patriot District was founded in 1993 as part of an attempted realignment of the Northern Region. The seven charter members of the district were Annandale, West Springfield, and T. C. Williams High Schools, along with Hayfield, Lake Braddock, and Robinson Secondary Schools.
All of the Patriot District schools are in Division 6 (larger AAA schools) except for South County and Hayfield which are in Division 5. The largest member is T.C. Williams with an enrollment of about 2,700 students (from 9th-12th grade; T.C. itself is a 10-12 school), and the smallest member is Hayfield with an enrollment at around 1,400 students. Hayfield has a AA size enrollment, but chooses to play up in AAA to maintain rivalries with neighboring schools rather than play schools in the AA Dulles District, whose members are far away. Hayfield's enrollment is also anticipated to increase back into the AAA class in the near future as well.
The Patriot District schools compete in the AAA Northern Region with the schools from the AAA Concorde District, the AAA Liberty District, and the AAA National District.

District Changes in 2005

The Patriot District experienced some changes in 2005 due to realignment and the opening of South County Secondary School in Lorton. The Patriot District was determined by the Northern Region at least initially to hold only Division 6 schools, and moved Lee from the Liberty District to the Patriot. However, Robinson, a perennial Patriot member in the past was moved to the Concorde District, which caused some controversy, as it severed their rivalry with Lake Braddock.
