More than 4,300 Chesterfield students will receive their high school diplomas during graduation ceremonies June 9 through June 13 at VCU’s Siegel Center, 1200 W. Broad St.
Graduates and their families are invited to share their best graduation photos via Facebook and Twitter with Chesterfield County Public Schools. Just use the hashtag #ccps16 when you post or tweet and be sure to include the name of your high school.
This will be the last Chesterfield County Public Schools graduation for Superintendent Marcus Newsome, who will become Petersburg’s superintendent on July 1. This is also the final graduation for two retiring principals:
Manchester High Principal Pete Koste has worked 39 years in Chesterfield County Public Schools; this is his 23rd graduation as Manchester High principal. His first graduation was for the class of 1994.
Cosby High Principal Brenda Mayo has worked 18 years in Chesterfield County Public Schools. This is Dr. Mayo’s ninth graduation as Cosby High principal; before moving to Cosby High, she oversaw six graduation ceremonies as principal of Clover Hill High.
