At West Point Public Schools, we believe great leadership starts at the top. That's why we're proud to celebrate our incredible principals. Our principals are the backbone of our schools, setting the vision, supporting our teachers, and ensuring our students receive the quality education they deserve. Their dedication, creativity, and commitment to excellence are an inspiration to us all. This video highlights the work of Principal Laurel Byrd at West Point Middle High School. Share a message of gratitude, attend a school event, or simply take a moment to thank her for all she does. Strong principals make strong schools, and we're grateful to have such incredible leaders guiding our West Point community. View the Video: https://youtu.be/VylmavR5dQE

Through the action of a committed group of youth with disabilities, the General Assembly officially recognized October as Disability History and Awareness Month (DHAM). The youth also developed this credo: Disability history education and awareness will promote positive attitudes in schools creating a culture of mutual respect, understanding, and equal opportunities for all. This month highlights the success that Virginians with disabilities have had in reducing the barriers they face to employment, healthcare, education, and community living, while also helping raise awareness of the ongoing contributions and achievements they bring to the Commonwealth throughout the year.

Mrs. Tate created two observation tanks for students to learn about Chesapeake Bay species. All species were obtained with a permit through the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. Our students observed the female Chesapeake Blue Crab, affectionately named Blueberry, molted overnight. Students monitored the process yesterday and this morning, she was fully out of her shell and twice as big!
