History
Osbourn High School opened in 1931 and was named after Eugena Osbourn, a proponent of public education in Manassas and Prince William County, Virginia. Ms. Osbourn was the principal of Osbourn High School in Manassas. In the 1970s, a new school was constructed on county property lying between the towns of Manassas and Manassas Park. By 1977, both towns had become independent cities with their own high schools. Osbourn High School became Osbourn Park and the new Osbourn High School was opened and used by the City of Manassas while the City of Manassas Park built a Manassas Park High School.
