School Overview
T.C. Williams High School, located at 3330 King St in Alexandria, Virginia, is historically significant as the institution famously depicted in the 2000 Disney film *Remember the Titans*. For decades, it served as the sole public high school for the city of Alexandria, known for its massive student body and its role as a focal point for the city’s academic, athletic, and social life. The school was renowned for its diverse student population, representing dozens of countries and cultures, which created a unique environment that was often cited as a microcosm of the global community.

In recent years, the school underwent a significant transformation. In 2021, the Alexandria City School Board voted to rename the institution **Alexandria City High School** to move away from its association with Thomas C. Williams, who was a former superintendent known for his opposition to the integration of public schools in the 1950s. While the name has changed to better reflect the city's values of inclusivity and unity, the campus at 3330 King St remains the primary hub for the city’s high school students, continuing its legacy of academic rigor and competitive athletics under its new identity.
