Congratulations to our KQPS School Board Office Staff Member of the Month, Dr. Dave Curran!
This month, we are proud to spotlight our Assistant Superintendent, whose leadership and heart for service make a lasting impact across the district. He is always willing to step in, offer support, and share his knowledge, no matter the situation. His passion for ensuring equity, access, and meaningful opportunities for our SPED students is evident in everything he does. He advocates fiercely for students and staff alike, always keeping what is best for children at the center of every decision. We are thankful for his dedication, his leadership, and the positive difference he makes for our students, staff, and community. Thank you, Dr. Curran!
Under the new Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) accountability system, all three of our schools are fully accredited and on track - a distinction achieved by only 4 districts in Region 3 and 23 districts statewide.
Additionally, Lawson-Marriott Elementary School is a top-five school in the region for reading growth, demonstrating the impact of strong instruction and targeted support.
CONGRATULATIONS ROYAL TIGERS!
Congratulations to King & Queen Central High School for recognition at this year's VSBA Conference! Seniors at CHS created a video entitled "One Word" for the VSBA Student Video Contest. The contest was open to all 130+ school districts in Virginia, and KQPS received Honorable Mention in the category of "Our Champion Stories!" Way to go, Royal Tigers!!! Special thanks to Mrs. Powell and Mr. Wrenn for helping with the production of this awesome student-led project!
