We moved here when my son was in 8th grade and had to pick a high school for him right away. He chose the IT program at Matoaca and was accepted. I can't imagine a better choice. It's a wonderful school with caring, concerned, and friendly teachers and staff. My son loves it there and his younger brother plans to apply for the same program in 2 years.
