Falls Church school leaders are planning to add a modest number of items to the system’s updated 2026-31 capital-improvement program.
And nearly already have funding sources available, School Board members were told on Dec. 10.
Meridian High School
Members of the state-champion Meridian High School varsity golf team were honored Dec. 10 by the Falls Church School Board.
“That’s an impressive achievement — we’re really proud,” School Board Chairman Tate Gould said in reaction to the team’s Virginia High School League Class 3 state crown, achieved during competition on the Heritage Oaks Golf Course in Harrisonburg.
The fieldhouse at Meridian High School Stadium will receive a $600,000 refresh and upgrade under a proposal unanimously approved by Falls Church City School Board members on Nov. 12.
The appropriation was part of a series of one-time-funding requests approved by School Board members, totaling just under $1.5 million in school funds and $400,000 in city-government funds.
In a string of strong postseason performances, the Meridian Mustangs saved their best for last.
With a season-best 18-hole team score of 297, the high-school golfers won their first state championship. It was an unexpected turn of events, given how the season began, but the team ultimately hit its stride and never looked back.
