🎙️ Hall Pass to History: Indian River High School

Last week was Virginia Principals Appreciation Week, and we’re celebrating the leadership that helps schools “RISE.” In this episode, IRHS junior Adrian Langaster sets the stage for a conversation with Principal Naomi Dunbar and former Principal James L. Frye on what makes IRHS feel like family and how they “RISE” together. From murals and modernization to pep rallies, mentorship, and moments of care that define a community, this story shows how culture is built day by day, person by person.

Last night, we came together for the official dedication of Crestwood Elementary! 💙💛

We celebrated this milestone with our school board members, city leaders, families, faculty, staff, and students. Since opening its doors this fall, Crestwood has brought together two beloved school communities under one roof, creating a new chapter for our Falcons.

We are proud of this beautiful state-of-the-art facility, with cutting-edge technology and an innovative layout designed to inspire learning and collaboration. This building represents the very best of what's possible when a community works together.

Special thanks goes to Heartland Construction and Dills Architects, whose vision and craftsmanship made Crestwood Elementary possible. And to everyone who played a role in making Crestwood Elementary a reality, your dedication and inspiration have created a space where our students will thrive for generations to come.

Here's to new beginnings at Crestwood Elementary! 🏫 #CPSCelebrates
