T. C. Williams High School is a public high school in Alexandria, Virginia, near Washington, D.C. The school has an enrollment of about 3,800 students.
It was named after former superintendent Thomas Chambliss Williams of Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS), who served from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s. The high school is located near the geographic center of the city, at 3330 King Street and is referred to informally as "T.C." (rather than "Williams") by students, faculty and locals. Approximately 3,000 students, primarily from grades 10–12, are enrolled at T.C's main campus. About 800 ninth graders have most or all of their classes at the branch Minnie Howard campus (0.6 miles (1.0 km) distant) and participate in T.C. Williams sports and extracurricular activities as well as some classes.
The school offers numerous Advanced Placement courses for its students. Every year, dozens of graduates go on to elite colleges, and T.C. Williams has won statewide academic and scientific competitions.
T.C. has an Army Junior ROTC program, which participated in President Barack Obama's Inaugural Parade. The T.C. Williams Marching Band travels to competitions up and down the East Coast.
The school's football team was the subject of the 2000 film Remember the Titans.
T. C. Williams, a four-year high school, initially opened its doors to eighth graders, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors in 1965, and graduated its first class in June 1967. It was Alexandria's third public high school and Minnie Howard Middle School was its "feeder" school, for seventh and eighth graders.
