Thank you to Dr. Jeremy Raley, Chief of Staff for the Virginia Department of Education for visiting several of our schools last week. He stopped by to see our Pharmacy Tech and Welding programs in action at the Chesapeake Career Center, congratulated Chittum Elementary School on their National Blue Ribbon recognition, and saw the Modern Classroom Project in action at Western Branch Middle School.









Please join us in congratulating our latest Teacher of the Year, Mr Bruce Rogers.
Mr Rogers has lasting relationships with students, a kind and caring heart, and most importantly a drive and passion for education. We are proud to have him in Bruin Country!






Color Wars Day! 💜❤️💚 These bruins showed up and showed their grade level PRIDE. Tomorrow is Jerseys vs Refs! We can't wait to see your outfits!



Please join us for an in-person screening of "Screenagers Under The Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age" to learn how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its effects on substance use.
The film debunks myths and depicts strategies parents and schools can use to encourage healthy decision-making, support teen mental health, set limits, and create healthy home environments. Experts will facilitate discussion and answer questions on practical solutions for keeping our teens safe in a changing world.
