Unity Reed High School is a public secondary schoolinBull Run, Prince William County, Virginia, near the city of Manassas. It was formerly known as Stonewall Jackson High School. In May 2007, Newsweek magazine ranked Unity Reed 530th in the nation on its annual list of "Best High Schools in America". In 2001, Time named Unity Reed as a High School of the Year.[3][4]

Administration[edit]

The principal of Unity Reed High School is Richard Nichols. He has been the principal since 2007.[5]

Naming controversy[edit]

The school was named after Stonewall Jackson, a Confederate general. In 2017, the Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) Board was considering renaming the school as part of a shift away from naming schools after Confederate leaders.[6][7] In 2020, the PWCS Superintendent released an open letter saying, "We can no longer represent the Confederacy in our schools".[8]

On June 29, 2020, the school board voted to rename the school to "Unity Reed High School", honoring Arthur Reed, who served as a security assistant at the school.[9][10][11]
