Student Activities and Athletics

Welcome to Student Activities and Athletics

We welcome you to the Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS). We have compiled some basic information that will help answer most questions for new students to PWCS that would like to participate in student activities or athletics.

PWCS athletics and some of the student activities are governed by the Virginia High School League, (VHSL).
