Annandale High School is a public high school in Annandale, Virginia, United States.[2] It is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools system.

The school's student body has been well-recognized for its high level of racial and cultural diversity since at least the 1980s.[3] Students derive from over 90 countries and speak more than 50 languages.[4]

The school's diverse student body has been noted by multiple US presidential administrations. In 1998, AHS was chosen by President Bill Clinton's Race Initiative Advisory Board as the site and focus of round-table discussions on race and education.[3] In 2006, Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings visited Annandale to commend the school's diverse language programs, and to announce a $188,000 grant for Fairfax County Public Schools to expand Arabic and Chinese programs.[5] And in October 2011, AHS was visited by First Lady Michelle Obama and First Lady of South Korea Kim Yoon-ok, who spoke at a school ceremony celebrating education and the school's diverse ethnic composition.[4]

AHS is the publishing site and focus of The A-Blast Newspaper, a YJDP paper of The Washington Post[6] that was consistently honored as one of the top-ten high school newspapers in the country from the late 1990s to 2009 by the National Scholastic Press Association and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

Historically AHS has also had a competitive football program. The Atoms have won six state championships since 1965, and were ranked as the best high school football team in the country by the National Sports Service after completing an undefeated season in 1978.
