The AAA Commonwealth District is a high school conference in the state of Virginia that includes schools from Stafford and Spotsylvania counties. AAA is the largest enrollment class of the Virginia High School League and also typically the most competitive level in Virginia high school sports.
The Commonwealth District schools competed in the AAA Northwest Region with the schools from the AAA Cardinal District, the AAA Cedar Run District, and the AAA Western Valley District until the 2013 VHSL District Reclassification.
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, and as south and west to include Albemarle High School of Charlottesville who had 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), three in Cross Country (Stafford, 1996, 2011; Mountain View 2009), four in Girls Gymnastics (North Stafford, 1988–1991), one in Softball (Stafford, 1982), three in Wrestling (Colonial Forge, 2007–2009), one in volleyball (Albemarle, 2008) one in boys indoor track (Albemarle, 2009), one in Outdoor Track and Field (Stafford, 1968), two in boys soccer (North Stafford, 2011; Albemarle, 2012) and three in cheerleading (North Stafford, 1999, 2001, 2004)
