Powhatan Middle School will host an evening of “Non-traditional High School Options” with representatives from the Maggie L. 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 October 2, 2024. This meeting aims to provide interested students and their parents with information regarding the curriculum, graduation requirements, and extracurricular activities, as well as answer questions regarding the application process for each high school option. Although the application process is open to current eighth grade students, fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students, their parents are also invited to attend to assist in course planning before they reach the eighth grade.
The evening will kick off with a review of Powhatan County Public Schools’ participation in these schools and answer some of the basic questions students and parents have about student participation in these high school program options.
Applications will be available on the PCPS website beginning on October 1. Students can also request the application link from Mrs. Haskins in the Gifted Services office (B210) and Mr. Winkler in the Counseling office. The application 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 and provide proof of residency for their student’s application to be verified and accepted.
The deadline for 8th graders to submit an application is December 1, 2024.
