Students attended a Veterans Day assembly today. Thanks to students Milo Lacy and Phoebe Parker for providing historical perspectives for our military and this holiday as well as the GMS band for your performance. Special thanks to Staff Sergeant Strong for your words of wisdom!
6th graders went to Westview to take part in a nature scavenger hunt, the Goochland Historical Society taught about the history of Goochland County, and the students gave back to the community by helping clean up trails. Great job 6th graders!

Each intersession will provide a unique learning opportunity that merges student interest and teacher passion. From Be a Disney Imagineer to Just-in-Time SAT Prep, students will have the chance to explore a wide range of topics.
Intersession will run Monday-Friday, October 16-20, 2023 from 8:00 - 2:30 at Goochland Elementary School (elementary sessions) and 9:00 - 3:30 at the Secondary Complex (secondary sessions).
