The heartbeat of Goochland County Public Schools is our people! ❤️ Last week, we gathered for our Celebration of Excellence, an evening dedicated to the incredible educators and staff who pour their hearts into our schools every day.
It was a night full of pride as we recognized our Teachers of the Year, Rookies of the Year, Team of the Year, and Employee of the Year. We also shared a special "thank you" with our retirees, celebrating the lasting legacy they leave behind in our halls. 🍎✨
The evening was made even more special by our students! 🎶 Students from Mr. Gittelman's GHS band provided a fantastic soundtrack for the night, and Chef Erlenbach’s talented students prepared and served a delicious meal for our guests. 🧑🍳🥘 Seeing our students use their skills to honor the staff who have guided them throughout the years made the celebration truly full-circle.

There is nothing quite like the joy of a Little Feet Meet! 🏃♂️✨
Last Friday, the Goochland High School stadium was filled with cheers, high-fives, and incredible displays of determination as we hosted students from both Goochland and Powhatan Schools for this year's Little Feet Meet.
