Under Construction: SCPS HS #6

Designed with sustainability in mind by Grimm + Parker and scheduled to open in August 2026, Stafford High School will have more than 290,000 square feet of space to accommodate up to 2,100 students in grades nine to 12. Stafford County Public Schools is building the new high school between U.S. 17 and Truslow Road to ease overcrowding; this is the first high school to be built by SCPS since 2008.

High School #6 allows SCPS to address exponential growth while creating modern learning environments with amenities that align with its students’ educational interests.

Designed with a strong focus on extracurricular activities, Shockey will build the school with a 1000-seat theater and amenities such as a football stadium, baseball and softball fields, soccer fields, and tennis courts. Unlike the other five county high schools, this school’s theater is large enough to host drama and musical competitions. Additional structures to support the school’s activities will include a fieldhouse, concession stands for baseball and softball, and two storage buildings.

Construction is underway.
