History

Broad Run opened in 1969 serving all of eastern Loudoun County, including all of Ashburn, Arcola, western Chantilly or what is now known as South Riding, and Sterling. It is named for nearby stream Broad Run, which runs through eastern Loudoun County in to the Potomac River. In 1976, a portion of the Sterling student body was moved to Park View High School. As the Ashburn area grew considerably, more students were shifted to Potomac Falls High School in 1997. Stone Bridge High School opened in 2000, which split the Ashburn student body to two different high schools. Broad Run gave the remainder of its Sterling student population to Potomac Falls after Dominion High School opened in 2003 and shifted students in Arcola to Stone Bridge. In 2005, Broad Run split off its South Riding students to Freedom High School .
