But our students and staff are BUSY getting ready for all things HOMECOMING ❤️💛, and we couldn’t let yesterday’s incredible accomplishments go unrecognized!

🏐 Boys Varsity Volleyball swept Peninsula Catholic in 3 sets!
🏃 Cross Country had 23 out of 25 runners set season personal records!
🥁 Our Marching Dukes earned ALL SUPERIOR ratings at their state assessment!

Our Intro to Health Careers and Nurse Aide students recently participated in an Appalachia Backpack Initiative, a service project supporting elementary and middle school students in the Appalachian Region.
These incredible students went above and beyond, personally donating school supplies, snacks, drinks, reusable water bottles, hats, mittens, toys, toiletries, and other essential items. Each backpack was thoughtfully packed and included a personalized note of encouragement! 💌
🎒 Together, our students collected enough supplies to fill an amazing 43 backpacks!
A special thank you to Providence Baptist Church for providing the backpacks and coordinating their delivery to the appropriate organization.
Unity Day reminds us that kindness matters, everyone belongs, and even the smallest acts of compassion can make a lasting impact. Our students have demonstrated that unity isn't just something we celebrate—it's something we put into action!
We couldn't be prouder of these students for their generosity, compassion, and commitment to helping others.
🧡 Choose Kindness. Choose Inclusion. Choose Unity.
❤️ Way to go, Dukes! 💛

GCPS is exploring the possibility of hosting an I'm Determined Echo Event at Gloucester High School, in collaboration with Mathews and Lancaster, for high school students with disabilities and their parents/caregivers.
WHAT IS I'M DETERMINED? (https://imdetermined.org/)
I'm Determined is a Virginia Department of Education initiative that helps students with disabilities develop the skills they need to have a stronger voice in their education and future.
Through I'm Determined, students learn to better understand their strengths, needs, preferences, and interests while developing skills in self-advocacy, goal setting, decision-making, problem-solving, choice making, independence, and taking a more active role in their IEP and future planning.
An I'm Determined Echo Event brings the experience and activities of I'm Determined directly to students in their local community. Students would participate in engaging, student-focused sessions while parents and caregivers would have the opportunity to attend separate informational sessions.
We would love your feedback as we explore bringing this opportunity to Gloucester! Please complete the Google Form Survey. Thank you!
