On behalf of the Board of Super-visors, I welcome you to Goochland County, where rural charm meets urban convenience! This guide should be a useful road map to both newcomers and long-time residents. We have adopted and take to heart the mission statement and underlying value statements that follow:

Mission StatementIn cooperation with the citizens of

Goochland, we the elected offi cials, Board and Commission members, and all of the em-ployees of the County do affi rm our dedication to pre-serving, enhancing, and perpetuating the unique rural and economic union of our County. We seek always to provide excellence in education, public safety, public health, social services, both now and in the future.

Value Statements1. We value the participation of each citizen in all as-

pects of administering the county government. Drawing upon the skills and knowledge of our county residents will ensure that all decisions are made in the best inter-est of the people.

2. Every citizen is entitled to the ut-most respect and appreciation for their involvement in county activities.

3. The management of people’s money is a public trust, and government activities must be conducted in a sound and prudent manner to achieve the most effective use of our fi scal resources.

We have many valued volunteers in the county who volunteer for countless duties and activities and we applaud and express gratitude to each of them.

Goochland has many advantages for the outdoor en-thusiast and naturalist, advantages for appropriate busi-nesses to locate here, and advantages to raise a family and frankly, advantages to seek out an unhurried, peace-ful lifestyle. We realize we have a genuine jewel and will always endeavor to keep our county, your county at the highest level of excellence that we have come to expect and enjoy.

Charged with providing excellence in edu-cation, the Goochland County Public Schools continue to raise the bar in every facet of in-struction and the day-to-day lives of our stu-dents, who are without a doubt our county’s greatest asset.

GCPS has a student enrollment of ap-proximately 2,400 in grades K through 12. The system has three elementary schools (grades K-5), a middle school (grades 6-8), a high school (grades 9-12), and a Specialty Education Center that houses preschool pro-grams and a center-based elementary gifted program.

Goochland High and Goochland Middle are two state-of the-art facilities on one complex. GHS opened in the fall of 2001 and currently houses grades 9-12. The complex, which now includes GMS after its completion last fall, operates as two separate schools that share an auditorium and kitchen. The 6-12 grade confi guration reduces transportation costs and allows for more shared use of staff.

All fi ve of Goochland’s schools are fully accredited, based on student performance on the Virginia Standards of Learn-ing (SOL) tests, in addition to being accredited by the South-ern Association of Colleges and Schools.

And according to a June 2008 report by the Virginia Edu-

cation Association, GHS has the highest graduation rate in the state while boasting the fourth-lowest dropout rate.

Goochland County features small schools and favorable class sizes. Elementary schools range in size from 250 to 410 students, with average class sizes of 16-18 in grades K-2 and 20-22 in grades 3-5. Goochland Middle serves approximately 500 students with av-erage class sizes of 21-23. Goochland High School serves approximately 750 students, with average class sizes of 21-23.

Goochland is a leader in the Common-wealth in the use of technology to enhance

instruction, with a student-to-computer ratio of 2:1. All schools have excellent networks that provide easy access to Internet-based learning resources. Through the “Power-school” database, student grades and attendance data can be accessed by parents in real time. GMS also has Promethean boards, a software and hardware system that mimics the tra-ditional chalkboard in its use of a teacher’s computer and interactive display, in every classroom. Meanwhile, more Promethean boards are being added to GHS and the county’s other schools every year.

The elementary instructional program in Goochland County provides a strong, phonics-based reading cur-

riculum, in addition to art, music, and physical education programs taught by teachers endorsed in those areas. The Goochland County Center for the Gifted provides special-ized instruction to identifi ed students in grades three, four, and fi ve taught by staff trained in gifted education.

A center-based gifted program is also in place at Gooch-land Middle School. In addition, the middle school offers accelerated courses and a wide variety of exploratory and full-year electives and an interscholastic athletic program for both boys and girls.

Goochland High School offers a full range of honors level classes and dual enrollment college classes, in addition to a wide variety of elective offerings in foreign languages, the arts, electronic and print journalism, and computer-related vocational areas. Students can also learn building trades through internships with local contractors, pursue EMT and fi refi ghter training, or take one of 13 business courses. Goochland County high school students are also eligible to participate in one of two Governor’s School programs.

We here at GCPS welcome the opportunity, privilege, and challenge of being the educators of our county’s children. We take very seriously the task of meeting the intellectual, personal, social, and career preparation needs of all our stu-dents.

GCPS is committed to providing all students with an education that assure quality learning and living in the 21st century.

“The Goochland County Historical Society, located just East of the Courthouse at 2875 River Road West, is a non-profi t orga-nization founded in 1968 for the purpose of preserving Gooch-land County’s heritage and tradition. Over the years, the Society has collected manuscripts, artifacts, genealogical, and architec-tural information about Goochland.

These resources are available to the public at the Society’s Historical Center. The Center houses offi ces, a research library, map and photograph collections, and a museum shop. There, Society volunteers are available to welcome visitors to Gooch-land, assist researchers and to answer mail or telephone inquiries about County history or genealogical research. The map collec-tion offers maps from 1820 to the present with roads, churches, mills, and transportation depots. The photograph collection contains pictures of identifi ed persons, events, and buildings in Goochland. Additionally, the Historical Society also maintains the Old Stone Jail, which is located at Goochland Courthouse.

Currently, the Society is working to restore the Rosenwald School which will be used as a museum to tell the story of black education in Goochland and Virginia.

For more information, please call 556-3966, email [email protected], or visit the Historical Center. Visitors are always welcome and the cost is free. Summer hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., winter hours are Wednes-day through Friday, 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.”
