HCPS students are working on solutions to tough challenges! The student-led HEART Sustainability Summit explored how Henrico and HCPS can be environmental leaders. Their ideas will be presented to county and HCPS leaders. The summit also featured a talk by WWBT's Andrew Freiden.

#CESS students spending the day at The General Assembly, serving as environmental advocates. Diving into the political aspect is equally important to achieving a sustainable future!

ALL learners receive Tier 1 learning. It's where we make all the needed improvement.
If scores are dropping, if misbehaviors are increasing, if gaps are widening, if Tier 2 & 3 population is growing, then it's a Tier 1 learning issue.
We must acknowledge, accept, & act on this
