Watch entire program with Robert Mueller at Washington & Lee High School

From the Site of Washington-Lee High School:
Washington-Lee High School was named for two distinguished Virginians, George Washington and Robert E. Lee. The cornerstone was laid in November of 1924, and the new building opened on October 6, 1925. The building was built on the site of a nineteenth century silkworm farm. The forested area that lay behind the school property is now known as I-66. There were approximately 600 students when the school opened in 1925, in grades 7 through 11. In the 1950s, the grade configuration was changed to grades 9-12. While the school building has undergone many renovations and nothing of the original building remains, its activities, clubs, societies, and athletic teams continue to flourish at W-L today. Washington-Lee's diverse student body is approximately 1500 students strong, and its faculty numbers 127 teachers and 56 supporting staff members.
