Student holding award

Each year, every Chesterfield County school honors students for demonstrating citizenship and the school division’s core values of integrity, equity, teamwork and ingenuity. During an April celebration, 131 students gathered with their families, principals, teachers and others to be recognized as Students of the Year for 2024. The event was sponsored by Feinstein 360 Orthodontics. 

A video of the Students of the Year celebration is available on the school system’s YouTube channel. Here are the 2024 Students of the Year for Chesterfield County Public Schools:
