We want to once again congratulate Paula Duncan on being recognized as a Virginia Teacher of the Year finalist. Representing Powhatan County Public Schools at the state level is an incredible accomplishment, and we are so proud of the impact she continues to make on students and education. We love seeing moments like this as Mrs. Duncan connected with state leaders and fellow educators during the recognition events. She had the opportunity to meet Governor Abigail Spanberger, First Gentleman Adam Spanberger, Secretary of Education Jeffery Smith, and Virginia Superintendent of Public Instruction Lisa Coons during the recognition event celebrating educators from across the Commonwealth. Thank you, Mrs. Duncan, for the dedication, care, and leadership you bring to your students and school community each day.

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.

Powhatan High School’s Culinary program includes a critical component called Bailey’s Café. Usually offered twice a week in late spring, every culinary class plays a role in making it happen, whether preparing food in advance or helping run the café when it is open. Pictured here, you can see Culinary 1 students cooking for and serving staff members their delicious lunches earlier this semester. Led by Mr. Robertson, the café offers students the chance to build skills in food preparation, teamwork, and customer service. Through experiences like Bailey’s Café, students can apply their learning in a real-world setting while developing skills they can carry with them beyond the classroom.

Students in Mrs. Ashman’s Forensic Science class at Powhatan High School put their investigative skills to the test earlier this semester during their arson unit. Students designed and built model houses, adding furniture and occupants, and created a backstory in which a fire in the home started either accidentally or intentionally. In the next phase of the project, the class headed outside, where Mrs. Ashman ignited each house according to the group’s scenario while students observed how the fire spread. In the following class, students stepped into the role of fire investigators, analyzing another group’s scene to determine whether the fire was the result of arson or accidental causes.

History came alive in March in Mr. Nester’s and Mr. Mullins’ classes in a fun and competitive way with the annual World History I Championship! 🏆 Modeled after a March Madness-style bracket, 64 people, places, events, and ideas from the World History I curriculum were seeded and faced off in head-to-head matchups. Students reviewed and voted each round to decide what they believed was most significant in world history – until one champion remained.
Now in its fourth year, this activity continues to be a favorite, sparking thoughtful debates, energetic discussions, and deeper connections to history. Previous winners – who are retired and can’t compete again – were Jesus (2023), Fire (2024), and Abraham (2025).
In a neck-and-neck competition, 2026 champion Jerusalem beat Rome in a 100-to-99 vote victory. 🧡🖤
