Pennington School was named after Police Officer Philip Michael Pennington, who was killed in the line of duty protecting our community. 

Each year the school comes together to hold a 5K and Hero Mile to raise funds to support the Prince William County Police Survivors Fund, previously known as the James Edward Fisher Memorial Trust.  The purpose of this fund is to support the educational expenses of children of deceased or disabled police officers of the Prince William County Police Department. 

In addition to raising money to support this charity, a portion of the funds raised will go to support the technology fund for the children who attend Philip Michael Pennington Traditional School.
