Historical Information

Loudoun County Public Schools first opened for the 1870-1871 school year. In the early years there were six school districts: Leesburg, Broad Run, Mercer, Mount Gilead, Jefferson, and Lovettsville. The Town of Leesburg School District was added later.

It is unclear when in the early 20th century the school district rewrote its school boundaries. W.A. Edmondson (n.d.) was Superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools from 1909-1916 making his reference to "the New Revenue Law approved April 16, 1903" in the Loudoun County School District Boundary Memorandum somewhat confusing. The Acts of Assembly for 1902-03 do not mention school boundaries in chapter 148, an act "to raise revenue for support of the government and public free schools..." approved 16 April 1903. No other information about W.A. Edmondson was located.
