Patrick Henry has a new Governor's School, and has invited the Southwest VA Governor's School to have their next Board meeting there. Kim Wilson, GEA President, commented how excited students and staff at NHS are about the renovation. Everything seems to be falling into place. The Superintendent reiterated regarding the opportunities at New River Community College. It is phenomenal what the college offers for students and adults.
Dual enrollment is another asset as well.
The Superintendent commented what a difference it made to be able to interview early on last spring for new teachers. Through the authority of the School Board, we were able to find highly qualified applicants for positions we had vacant for this year. The Superintendent also commended the Partnership, saying how fortunate we are to have the availability of those resources for kids. Students receive the benefits of every grant dollar that is awarded.
