Stone Bridge High School is a public secondary school in Ashburn, a community in Loudoun County, Virginia.
The school is part of Loudoun County Public Schools. Newsweek ranked Stone Bridge the #4 high school in Virginia and the #1 high school in Loudoun County in 2014.[2]
History
Stone Bridge opened in 2000.[3] The school derives its name from the stone Broad Run Bridge.
In 2002, most of Stone Bridge's Leesburg student body was moved to Heritage High School, but some additional students from Broad Run were moved to Stone Bridge, dropping enrollment to roughly 1,400 students in the 2002–2003 school year.[4] However, by the 2004–2005 school year, the student body went up to nearly 1,900 students, the largest student body in Loudoun County.[5]
2021 sexual assault
On May 28, 2021, a male teenager was accused of sexually assaulting a female student in a girls' restroom at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn.[6][7] Following a weeks-long investigation by the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, a 14-year-old male was arrested on July 8, 2021, and charged with two counts of forcible sodomy.[6] On October 6, 2021, the same male teenager, now aged 15, was accused of sexually assaulting a female student in an empty classroom at Broad Run High School.[6] The male student was arrested the following day[7] and charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student.[6] On October 25, 2021, the suspect was found guilty on all charges for the May 28 assault.[8][9] On November 15, 2021, the suspect pleaded no contest to a felony charge of abduction and a misdemeanor count of sexual battery for the October 6 assault.[10] In January 2022, the suspect was found guilty on all four charges and was sentenced to complete a "residential program in a locked-down facility" and placed on supervised probation until he turned 18, and ordered to register as a sex offender in Virginia.[11][12] Later that month, Brooks decided against placing the perpetrator on the sex offender registry, due to the offender's young age and data indicating that teenagers placed on the registry go on to have higher recidivism rates.[13]
Extracurricular activities
The debate program won the AA state title in 2005, and the AAA state title in 2006.[14]
Stone Bridge's chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) has been named as an Honor Chapter by the Virginia FBLA since it was chartered in 2002. In 2006, the chapter was recognized with its first award from the National FBLA organization; receiving the Business Achievement Award.
Athletics
Stone Bridge has a long-standing rivalry with nearby Broad Run High School, with the annual football game between the two schools being called the "Battle of the 'Burn".[15]
The school's mascot and colors were established in 1999 after a student referendum at Broad Run High School, Loudoun County High School, and Harper Park Middle School.

- Four for cheerleading (AA champion in 2004; AAA champion in 2005, 2006, and 2008)[16]
