West Potomac High School (Alexandria, VA) star Christian Johnson has decided he will enroll in Prep school in the Fall of 2004. He will graduate from West Potomac and hopes to attend either Hargrave Military Academy or Fork Union Military Academy next year.

“Basically, me, my coach, and my family talked about it and we decided I could use a year at Prep school,” Johnson said. “Coach [Al] Golden from Virginia has always been telling me to keep Prep school in the back of my mind. Virginia talked to Hargrave for me and my coach has spoken with Fork Union. One of the Hargrave coaches has already called and said I have a home there if I want it.”

In the beginning, Johnson was reluctant to go to Prep school. Now, however, he is looking forward to the opportunity.

“I feel good about the decision,” Johnson said. “I felt bad at first that I didn’t listen to my parents earlier on in high school when it came to academics because that is the reason I have to prep, but this will be a chance for a new start. I’m looking forward to it now.”
