Tuesday night’s January School Board Meeting—rescheduled due to winter weather—was truly a celebration of the incredible people who make Colonial Heights Public Schools such a special place.
We were proud to recognize three outstanding seniors from Colonial Heights High School:
🎓 Tony Nguyen, January Senior of the Month
🎓 Jenna Ackerman, December Senior of the Month
🎓 Lisa Zheng, October Senior of the Month
We also honored three remarkable students from Lakeview Elementary, recognized as “Lakeview’s Lifesaving Heroes,” for their quick thinking and actions when a teacher needed immediate help.
In addition, we celebrated our amazing Principals in honor of Principals Appreciation Week (January 12–18). We are deeply grateful for their leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to our students, staff, and families.
It was a wonderful evening filled with pride, appreciation, and community—and we are so thankful for everyone we had the opportunity to recognize. 💙
