Henrico school board spotlights student performers, statewide champions and teacher of the year
Summary
At its Jan. 22 meeting the Henrico County School Board recognized Baker Elementary student performers, celebrated centennial school anniversaries and VHSL state champions, named a division Teacher of the Year and highlighted the new Virginia Randolph campus.
The Henrico County School Board on Jan. 22 recognized student achievements, awarded honors to staff and schools, and presented a ribbon-cutting highlight for the new Virginia Randolph campus. Christopher Mosley, the division’s education specialist for performing arts, introduced fifth-grade singers from Baker Elementary who opened the meeting with two selections including "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
Board members acknowledged Montrose and Short Pump elementary schools on their 100th anniversaries and congratulated Tuckahoe Elementary on being named a 2025 National Blue Ribbon School, an honor cited as the highest recognition for academic achievement in the Commonwealth. The board also introduced Jordan Satterfield as Henrico County’s 2026 divisionwide Teacher of the Year; Satterfield described the work as student-centered, saying, "music is the mission, but people are the purpose."
The board celebrated several Virginia High School League fall state champions, including the Verona High School football team (record cited as 13–2 and a championship game score of 47–0), Glen Allen girls cross country, and Glen Allen boys volleyball. Individual awards and coach recognitions were also noted.
As part of the Henrico Highlight segment, the board presented the new Virginia Randolph campus and framed it as honoring the legacy of education pioneer Virginia Estelle Randolph while offering “innovative new learning spaces” for students across grade levels. The meeting closed a recognition segment by honoring three Freeman High School students who assisted an injured shopper, with community members and a medical professional expressing gratitude on the podium.
The recognitions comprised the bulk of the meeting’s agenda and were presented without formal votes. The board moved next to public forum and standard business items.
