Facts about the district

The Commonwealth District has consistently had the base of its schools from Stafford County, as well as the larger schools in Spotsylvania County. In past years, the geographic area of the district was based primarily in Prince William County until the creation of the Cardinal District. It also at times included schools as far north and west as Winchester and Warrenton, but currently the district stretches south and west to include Albemarle High School of Charlottesville who has been a member since 2001.

The Commonwealth District has been a consistent force in AAA Division 5 Football, sending four different teams to the state championship from 1999-2004 (Culpeper, Stafford, Massaponax and North Stafford). The district has also won two state championships in Field Hockey (Stafford, 2005; North Stafford 1988), one in Cross Country (Stafford, 1996), four in Girls Gymnastics (North Stafford, 1988-1991), one in Softball (Stafford, 1982), two in Wrestling (Colonial Forge, 2007-2008) and three state championships in cheerleading (North Stafford, 1999, 2001, 2004)
