Every senior at GHS must complete a senior project to walk across the stage at graduation. Projects come in all various shapes and sizes, but A.J. Austin and Jack Twombly’s project has taken the form of a Cancer Awareness week, capped off by Goochland’s second annual “Ballin for a Cure” benefit basketball game on Friday, February 3^rd at 7:00pm at Goochland High School. Proceeds from ticket, raffle and T-shirt sales will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

In addition to the game, throughout the week staff and students are encouraged to wear colors that represent awareness to find cures for the different forms of cancer. Here are the color themes for the week:

Monday: Wear Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

Tuesday: Wear White for Lung Cancer Awareness

Wednesday: Wear Light Blue for Prostate Cancer Awareness

Thursday: Wear Royal Blue for Colon Cancer Awareness

Friday: Wear Purple for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness

Congratulations to Austin Payne, Jack Williamson and James Deloach who were selected to represent Goochland High School at the 2^nd Annual SPARK! Hackathon held on January 28^th & 29^th, 2017. This is a fantastic opportunity for Austin and James to demonstrate the coding skills that they have learned at Goochland High School, as well as a wonderful opportunity for them network and further their coding and engineering education with tech mentors from around the country.
