History

Construction of what was then Braddock Park Secondary School, seen from the northeast, which is the closest to Braddock Park

The school originally opened as a secondary school in 1988 with grades 7-10 and an enrollment of 990 students, part of the "Superschool" idea. Superschools are no longer built in Virginia. The school was to be called Braddock Park Secondary School, due to its close proximity to Braddock Park. However, to avoid confusion with Lake Braddock Secondary School, the name was changed to Centreville Secondary School.

Lake Braddock Secondary School is a grade school in Burke, Virginia administered by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). ...

In 1990, county officials decided that a secondary/middle school was not needed in the area (due to the low enrollment) and Centreville became a high school. The first senior class graduated in 1991. For other uses, see High school (disambiguation). ...

The school used to be called the "Trailer Park" because of all the trailers, a result of overcrowding. Beginning in the mid-1990s, the enrollment began to increase drastically and fill the school to capacity. At one point (circa 1999-2000 school year) there were 50+ trailer classrooms. This problem was fixed when Westfield was built and opened in Fall 2000. A few trailers are still present at Centreville, along with a modular addition called the Mod. The Modular addition should not be confused with the few trailers Centreville still has, as it fits several classrooms into one building, along with bathrooms and four entrances. For many years, FCPS had been installing external trailer classrooms when the interior capacity of the school building was not sufficient. Now, FCPS is installing more modular buildings at schools instead of trailers. A modern double-wide manufactured home. ... Two story modular dwelling Modular homes are houses that are manufactured in a remote facility and then delivered to their intended site of use. ...

The drastic population increase in the Centreville/Chantilly area was an unforeseeable problem which was corrected by building neighboring rival Westfield High School in 2000. However, the Centreville/Clifton area no longer had a middle school due to the changing of Centreville from a secondary/middle school to a high school in 1990, and students were bused to Rocky Run Middle School, nearly six miles away. Liberty Middle School, built in 2002, corrected this problem. Unfortunately, Westfield is currently extremely overcrowded and has more than 40 trailer classrooms.
