🎉 Big News for Norton! 🎉

Norton City Public Schools has officially earned the Virginia Community Schools Designation from the Virginia Department of Education!

This designation is awarded through a rigorous application and review process that recognizes schools demonstrating strong alignment with the Community School model and a sustained commitment to high-quality implementation.

The process was developed in partnership with current community school leaders and the Virginia Community Schools Task Force to ensure consistency, accountability, and excellence statewide.

To earn this designation, divisions were required to:
✔ Demonstrate measurable progress in implementation (emerging, maturing, or excelling levels)
✔ Provide evidence-informed action steps for continued improvement
✔ Show strong partnerships that support students and families

This year, nearly 60 sites across 13 school divisions earned this recognition — and we are proud to be one of them!

The following divisions were recognized by VDOE:

Arlington Public Schools

Carroll County Public Schools

Dickenson County Public Schools

Grayson County Public Schools

Henrico County Public Schools

Loudoun County Public Schools

Norton City Public Schools

Nottoway County Public Schools

Petersburg City Public Schools

Radford City Public Schools

Roanoke City Public Schools

Washington County Public Schools

York County Public Schools

Being a Virginia Community School means Norton City Public Schools:

💙 Supports the whole child — academically, socially, and emotionally
🤝 Builds strong partnerships with families, agencies, and community organizations
📚 Expands academic enrichment and after-school opportunities
🏥 Connects families with health, wellness, and wraparound services
🌱 Removes barriers so every child can thrive

For our small, rural division, this designation affirms what we already know:

Rooted in Community. Growing Every Child.

Thank you to our staff, students, families, and partners who made this possible. The work continues — and we are proud to lead it together.
