Goochland’s young readers have a new mystery to solve! 🕵️♂️📖
A huge thank you to the Goochland Rotary for their annual book donation to every fourth-grade student in Goochland County Public Schools.
This year’s selection—Escape from Monticello by local author Steven K. Smith—was chosen in collaboration between Goochland Rotary, Goochland Historical Society’s 250 American Revolution Commission, and GCPS school librarians. The story follows three kids solving a mystery while learning about Thomas Jefferson, a Goochland native and principal author of the Declaration of Independence.
It’s a wonderful way to celebrate local history while sparking a love of reading.
We love seeing our community partners invest in our students’ curiosity. It’s partnerships like these that make GCPS such a special place to learn and grow! ❤️🏫

Our fifth graders from Randolph, Byrd, and Goochland Elementary recently took a giant leap toward their next adventure with a visit to Goochland Middle School! 🏫
From touring the hallways to enjoying a private, high-energy performance by the GMS Band, our students got a true taste of the middle school experience. One of the highlights? A special Q&A session with 8th graders. There is nothing like hearing from those who have walked the path before you to turn nerves into excitement! 🤝❤️
We are so proud of our elementary scholars and can’t wait to see them thrive at GMS.
From the wonderful choral performances by Randolph, Goochland, and Byrd Elementary Schools to the incredible talents of our GMS and GHS bands and drama, it was a beautiful celebration of student creativity! 🎶✨
Beyond the stage, guests explored a stunning gallery featuring artwork from every school in the division and enjoyed hands-on activities in the cafeteria. A huge thank you to everyone who supported our GHS ceramic students by purchasing a handmade soup bowl!
It’s nights like these that show just how much talent and heart we have in our Goochland community. 🎨🥣
We are so proud to celebrate our Fine and Performing Arts Team as our Team of the Year! This incredible group of educators represents talent from across all five of our schools, working together to inspire creativity and confidence in every student.
From the first notes in elementary music to the standing ovations at the high school, these teachers create a sense of belonging and "connectedness" that makes GCPS so special. Our community is brighter because of your dedication!
Last night’s Wellness Night was a blast! Our Goochland families hit the track for the color fun run, tackled the bouncy slide, and enjoyed some delicious eats from the local food trucks.
It was a wonderful evening for our families to connect with incredible community resources and learn more about the support networks available right here in Goochland. 🤝💛
Shoutout to our Sunshine Food Bus for feeding bodies and minds with those free books! 📖🚌 There’s nothing better than seeing our students leave with a smile and a new story to read. It was a beautiful night of movement, connection, and Goochland pride.
On March 26th, our elementary students proved that reading is the ultimate team sport! We were so proud to host the Reading Olympics, bringing together 160 students from all three of our elementary schools.
These dedicated young readers tackled a list of 31 books, supported by 19 incredible coaches who helped them every step of the way. It was a day filled with connectedness, school/team spirit, and a shared passion for reading.
Huge congratulations to our overall winners: "I Survived The Great Bear Attack" from Randolph Elementary School! 🥇 A special shoutout to their coach, Mrs. Katelin Nolan, for leading them to victory.
