Goochland High School’s STEM Day on November 6th was a huge success! What is STEM Day, you say? STEM Day is a chance for students to learn more about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, and its relevance, through a team-based project or challenge. All STEM Day activities involved collaboration between two teachers (a science or CTE teacher with an English, history or foreign language teacher) and focused on development of critical life skills such as teamwork, communication, critical thinking, creativity and problem solving. While each pair of classes completed a different project, the projects all allowed students to learn about specific STEM concepts and see how those concepts connect to other content areas and are relevant to our everyday lives. Check out the amazing collaborations between content areas HERE that provided rich learning experiences for our students. A big thank you to our STEM Day leads, Ms. Desmarais and Ms. Borgie, for putting this all together!

Football v. Bluestone Tonight at GHS CANCELED
Good afternoon Goochland families,
We apologize for the short notice, but Bluestone High School has chosen not to travel to Goochland High for tonight’s football game due to concerns related to their current roster, which would not include enough players to safely compete at GHS.
All senior night activities will now take place at next Friday’s first round regional playoff game, which will take place at home at Goochland High.
Thank you all for your understanding and have a great weekend,
Andy Armstrong, Assistant Superintendent of Business Operations
