[8] [edit] Additional historyThe school was all-white segregated institution when it was founded in 1954, but by the late 90's the proportion of white students was only 44% and there were students from 73 countries, speaking 43 different languages.[9] For this reason, it was visited in 1998 by President Bill Clinton's President’s Advisory Board on Race for round-table discussions[10]. As of 2006, 87 nationalities and 46 languages are represented in the student population. A Gay-straight alliance club is present at Annandale. Thomas Jefferson High School (not TJHSST) was merged with AHS during the 1988 school year which lead to tragic consciences, 3 students comitted suicide from TJ in 1987. Thomas Jefferson High School would eventually be re-designated as a magnet school for the sciences and technology.
It stopped accepting new students after 1985 and it merged with Annandale High School for the 1987-1988 school year. No students from Jefferson or TJHSST graduated in 1988. Students who had attended TJ from 1984-1987 graduated from Annandale HS in 1988. During this transition time, the TJHSST opened its doors to more and more students. [edit] FootballIn 50 years, Annandale has won six football state championships (1965, 1967, 1972, 1978, 1993, and 1994) and numerous district titles as a member of both the Potomac District (Pre-resdistricting) and the Patriot District (Post redistricting).[11] After an undefeated season in 1978, Annandale ended the year ranked #1[12] in the nation by the National Sports Service. Annandale won Patriot District titles in both 2005 and 2006, but both times the Atoms fell to their first round opponents. In 2008 the Atoms shared a Patriot District championship with West Springfield High School. [edit] Notable alumni
