Superintendent

The holiday season is here and this is a perfect time to express my gratitude and thanks for the way our students and staff started the school year. The weeks before the school year brought various challenges from Mother Nature, but the first day of school could not have gone smoother. Thanks to everyone who went the extra mile to make sure our students began the school year on time and fully prepared.

 

I would also like to thank our parents for the support they have given our school staff and administration during the first part of our school year. We rely on your time, participation and encouragement to make sure we provide the best possible education for all of our students. We are only a few months into the school year, but our staff is delivering the quality of education to our students that everyone expects and our students continue to impress with the quality of their work! Please explore our website to see the latest highlights and accomplishments of our outstanding schools and students.

 

As you know, the Henrico County Public Schools vision is to be The Premier school division in the United States. We are well on our way to achieving this goal, but know we still have more work to do. During the rest of the year, we will be addressing and discussing the student achievement gap among segments of our student body. We identified these gaps several years ago and immediately began work to improve student performance and overcome them. We have made progress but are not where we want to be. We will be asking for your help and support as we move forward and continue to make sure all of our students are achieving at the highest levels possible. Please look for announcements about community meetings where we will share information about our past, present and future efforts.

 

Finally, I hope everyone has a restful and peaceful holiday season sharing time with family, friends and loved ones. My family and I wish you all the best during this joyous season of celebration!
