Superintendent
At Shenandoah County Public Schools, student achievement is at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated teachers, administrators, and staff work tirelessly every day to provide an educational experience that is not only challenging, but also engaging and supportive. We are proud of the growth our students continue to make academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our commitment to excellence has resulted in remarkable achievements across the division, including three of our schools receiving Virginia Exemplar Awards. Out of nearly 1,800 schools across the state, Stonewall Jackson High School and Strasburg High School were two of just 92 schools to earn the Highest Achievement Award, while Signal Knob Middle School was among 49 schools recognized with the Continuous Improvement Award. These prestigious honors are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our educators, students, and families.
In addition, we continue to see significant improvement in the state rankings for Standards of Learning (SOL) pass rates. Our students have consistently demonstrated higher proficiency levels, and our school division’s growth in these rankings reflects the success of our efforts to enhance teaching practices, foster a positive learning environment, and provide targeted support to all learners.
Our focus on excellence does not stop here. We are committed to providing the best educational experience for every student. We recognize that each child has unique talents, needs, and aspirations, and we strive to create an environment where they can thrive. From expanding access to innovative programs and technology to continuing professional development for our teachers, we are dedicated to equipping our students with the tools they need to succeed in an ever-changing world.
Thank you for being an integral part of our school community. Whether you are a parent, a staff member, a volunteer, a business partner, or a member of the broader community, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we are building a future of excellence for all our students.
