Not all heroes wear capes—some wear aprons and a smile! 🦸♀️🍎
From navigating allergies and strict nutrition standards to preparing meals that our students love, these heroes have a lot on their plates! These dedicated staff members balance so many roles to ensure our students have the fuel they need for success.
Join us in thanking the team that makes our cafeterias a place of kindness and community!

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.
From mastering the "weight" lifting station to navigating the foldable tunnels and balancing on the tightrope, our young athletes showed us exactly what it means to be a champion. 🏆 It wasn’t just about the activities—it was about the community coming together to celebrate every single student’s success.
A huge thank you to our neighbors from Powhatan for joining us and making this day so special! ❤️🔥
