Potomac Senior High School was established in 1979. When the school first opened there were only freshmen and the students went to school at 15941 Cardinal Drive in Woodbridge, Virginia, what is now the Dr. A.J. Ferlazzo Building. A year and a half later the current school was opened up and the freshmen and sophomores moved there during the Christmas break. The current school is at 3401 Four Year Trail in Dumfries, Virginia. In 1983 Potomac had its first graduating class of approximately 400 students. Students from both Graham Park Middle School, Rippon Middle School, and the new Potomac Middle School continue their education at Potomac Senior High School.
