Powhatan High School celebrated Career and Workforce Development Signing Day last week to recognize students as they took the next step toward their futures. Fifteen students signed letters of intent across a variety of fields, including electricity, building trades, agriculture mechanics and fabrication, cosmetology, and JROTC. Some students committed directly to employers, while others signed with universities as part of their continued education and service plans. The event highlighted the meaningful connections students have built with employers and postsecondary opportunities as they prepare for life after graduation. PHS was also excited to welcome alumnus Nathan Poe, Class of 2019, as this year’s guest speaker. Congratulations to all of the students recognized during this special event.

Teacher Appreciation Week is underway, and we are so excited to see and hear about the treats planned by our schools and parent groups to highlight the people who make our schools such special places. Knowing this week would be slammed, our Human Resources team hosted staff appreciation lunches across the division in April, treating the staff at each school along with Transportation and the Pocahontas Landmark Center. It was a small way to recognize the big impact our teachers and staff have every day. This week, we’ll be sharing photos from those visits, starting with Powhatan Middle School. We invite our community to join us in showing appreciation throughout the week.
