Previously two other schools were outside the city's borders, but they became included when the city line was readjusted following the settlement of a dispute with the county over the City's water system.The FCCPS officially became an independent school system on June 27, 1949, when the Virginia Board of Education authorized its separation from the Fairfax County school system. Falls Church had obtained the enabling legislation to form an independent city in the year before, in 1948.SchoolsJesse Thackery Preschool Mount Daniel School named after a street Thomas Jefferson Elementary School Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School, named after the sister to Harriet Henderson George Mason High School
