Tonight's Varsity Football Game v. Falls Church Update


Annandale Community:

During the 4th quarter of our Varsity Football game tonight vs. Falls Church, we were notified of an active shooter near the Annandale campus.  

Out of an abundance of caution, we paused the game with 5:21 left in the 4th quarter. Fans were instructed to proceed directly to their vehicle. Those without transportation were directed to the Main Gym until a ride was secured. Working with the Fairfax County Police Department, we received an all clear at approximately 10:00pm, at which point all remaining students were released.

Update: We are currently working with officials to resume the game tomorrow at 12:00pm. Please check the Annandale Athletics website or Annandale Athletics Twitter account for updates.

The safety of students, players and fans is our top priority. Thank you to both the Falls Church and Annandale communities for their cooperation and support. As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Shawn DeRose, Principal
