During her sixth grade Exploratory Art class at Powhatan Middle School, Miss Keys had students create travel posters, starting with a black and white first draft and then moving on to a color final draft. Students could choose a real destination, such as Glacier National Park or Japan, or a fictional location. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Walker Governor’s School for Government and International Studies, Appomattox Regional Governor’s School for the Arts and Technology, Code RVA High School and the Powhatan High School/Reynolds Community College for Advanced College Academy Program on Oct. 9, 2023.

The evening will kick off with a review of Powhatan County Public Schools’ participation in these schools as well as answer some of the basic questions students and parents have about student participation in these high school program options. Applications will be available beginning on Oct. 13 from Mrs. Haskins in the Gifted Services office (B210) and Mrs. Baldwin in the school counseling office. Applications will be available to students currently enrolled in Algebra I. Private and homeschool families seeking applications will need to schedule an appointment with Mrs. Haskins to come to Powhatan Middle School, provide proof of residency and pick up an application. Applications cannot be mailed. The deadline for eighth graders to submit an application is Dec. 1, 2023. #wearepcps #teampowhatan
