In partnership with Jostens, Goochland High School is excited to host the regional Jostens Renaissance Fair on Tuesday, December 12th. Schools from around the central region will join us to hear Mike Smith from The Harbor speak in the morning. Student drivers should park in the back of the stadium parking lot, as we will rope off the front section of the student parking lot to accommodate busses from visiting schools. Since we are hosting the event, Mr. Smith will hang around to speak to our students in the afternoon during a special assembly. We will operate on a Day 2 pep rally schedule to hear Mike speak to our students in the afternoon on leadership, changing school culture and climate, and pursuing their passions. We are excited that Goochland High School was selected to host this special event, as we continue to build a positive school climate at GHS!

Admission is free, so join our students as they bring in the holiday season!

The GHS Dance Company will perform in their Winter Dance Recital on Thursday, December 7th at 6:30PM in the auditorium. Come out and support our dancers as they display their talents through classical and modern dance routines!

Goochland High School is proud to unveil the new Learning Commons, formerly known as the Library Media Center, on Wednesday, December 6th at 6PM. Thanks to the generous donations from private donors, our students are now able to access a collaborative work environment equipped with some of the latest technologies and flexible seating. If you would like to join us for the celebration, please email me by the end of the day on Monday, December 4th.

Over the next few weeks you might see some of us a little scruffier than normal, as we raise awareness for cancer by participating in “No-Shave November.” The goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free (sort of :-)). As a team, we will donate the money we typically spend on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, to save lives, and to aid those fighting the battle. For more information, visit https://no-shave.org/team/Team_Goochland.

Please make plans to come out and support our PTSA All Night Graduation Committee on Tuesday, November 28th for our Spirit Night at Chipotle Restaurant in Innsbrook. The event will be held from 4pm-8pm, and 50% of all proceeds will be donated to the PTSA-ANG! You must present the flyer attached (see below) to this post at the register. We look forward to seeing you there!
