Embodies the very best of our school community.
Consistently demonstrates dedication, perseverance and strong character.
Comes to school like a ray of sunshine, spreading positivity to everyone.
Demonstrates outstanding character, academic excellence and leadership.
Makes others feel welcomed and valued.
A true light in the classroom.
Those phrases describe just a few of the 133 Students of the Year for Chesterfield County Public Schools. Each year, central Virginia’s largest school system honors students from every school who deserve significant recognition for their contributions to the community and for exhibiting the value of integrity through respect, responsibility, honesty and accountability.
These star students gathered April 16 with their families, School Board members and school leaders to be recognized as Students of the Year during a celebration sponsored by Feinstein 360 Orthodontics.
Congratulations to the 2026 Students of the Year for Chesterfield County Public Schools:
