All are welcome to attend.
Due to the threat of inclement weather, including a forecast of 1–3 inches of snow in the morning along with freezing temperatures, we have made the decision to close schools tomorrow. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority, and current weather predictions indicate potentially hazardous travel conditions during arrival hours.
All school-related activities, including after-school programs, will also be cancelled for Friday. At this time, Saturday events and activities will continue as scheduled. We will continue to monitor weather conditions and communicate promptly if additional cancellations or adjustments become necessary. We encourage families to stay safe, use caution if traveling, and enjoy the day at home.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

From our GCPS family to yours—Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁
This week, students in Economics & Personal Finance and Entrepreneurship took on a real-world challenge: planning a full Thanksgiving meal on a budget.
Teams compared grocery ads, used coupons, tracked costs in spreadsheets, and presented their strategies for making smart financial decisions.
This hands-on project helped students build practical skills in budgeting, collaboration, and problem-solving. Proud of their hard work—and grateful to Ms. Boehm, Ms. Dewey, and Mrs. EYP for bringing this engaging lesson to life! 🦃👏
American Education Week is in full swing! The GHS admin team provided Honey Baked Ham lunches for our amazing staff yesterday - we're grateful for everything they do! 🎉 #ToGether #GoBulldogs
Hello, GHS families!
Today, your student(s) took part in their first of three lessons from Common Sense Education. These lessons help students understand how to use technology safely and responsibly as they start and finish their high school careers. To view a conversation starter about today's lesson topic, click here for English or here for Spanish!
We hope you will continue this meaningful conversation at home, and look forward to continuing it here at GHS in the coming months.
Thank you!
Students enjoyed spending time together and showing off their skills. A big thank-you to Short Pump Bowlero for hosting us and to Eternal Stoneworks for their support of our team!

Last Friday, our stadium was filled with teamwork, encouragement, and smiles as we hosted our 4th Annual Unified Track Meet! Athletes and partners participated in a variety of fun activity stations across the complex before wrapping up with an exciting, abbreviated track meet on the field.
We were thrilled to welcome teams from Fluvanna County and Albemarle County to join in the fun and competition! ❤️💛
It was an incredible day celebrating inclusion, sportsmanship, and Bulldog spirit—both on and off the track! 🐾
This collaborative event showcased the many ways GCPS prepares students for life after high school—whether their path leads to college, careers, or service—and provided valuable insight from our local partners about the skills and qualities they seek in future employees.
Together, we’re building stronger connections between our schools, local government, and the business community to make sure every Goochland graduate is ready for what’s next! 💼🎓
