WASHINGTON — The Stafford County School Board has elected names for the two newest elementary schools. Soon, kids in the division will attend either Falls Run Elementary or Crow's Nest Elementary schools. Both schools are scheduled to open for the 2026-2027 school year.

Every new school needs a mascot and school pride colors. Falls Run Elementary will be known as the Foxhounds, with purple, gold, and navy as their school colors. Of course, a crow's nest needs some birds, so Crow's Nest Elementary will be known as Blue Jays! Its school colors will be turquoise, navy, and lime.

How does the naming process work?
