HCPS Mission & Vision

We believe our duty is to prepare all students with the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to be life-ready and prepared for postsecondary success in college, career, and life. We believe literacy, the ability to read, write, communicate and think critically, is the cornerstone of this mission.

Henrico County Public Schools believes in the right to achieve and the support to succeed for all.

We must inspire a passion for learning, knowing that reading, writing, and thinking empower learners to become contributing citizens in a global society.
