School and Community

Stafford County  is located in northeastern Virginia, 40 miles south of Washington, DC and 60 miles north of Richmond, Virginia.  Stafford was previously rural in nature, but growth in the last 25 years has shifted.  The county is rapidly becoming suburban.  In fact, Stafford is one of the fastest-growing counties in the Commonwealth.

Brooke Point High School was opened in 1993 and now has an approximate enrollment of 1700.  It is a comprehensive high school attended by students in grades 9 through 12, with a professional staff of 155.
