Surrounded by family, friends, staff, and community members, students celebrated an important milestone and the next step in their journey. We’re proud of these young men and women and grateful for their commitment to service.

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.

Detective Hylton and Detective Joyner from the Powhatan Sheriff’s Office recently led cybersecurity assemblies for fifth graders at all three elementary schools focused on digital safety and online behavior. The sessions aimed to help students navigate the digital world securely by teaching them to protect their personal information and critically evaluate the content they see online. The detectives covered a wide range of vital topics, including cyberbullying, the realities of artificial intelligence (AI), identity theft, and social media behavior and security. A common thread ran through all of the topics – being careful about what they share because the internet is forever.
