District Announcements

  • Welcome! 

    On behalf of Appomattox County School Board, the faculty and staff of Appomattox County Public Schools (ACPS), I welcome you to our website. 

    Located in Central Virginia, Appomattox is historically significant as it served as the stage for the Confederate Army’s surrender to end the American Civil War. We provide public education to approximately 2200 students in four schools. In each of our schools; Appomattox County High School (Grades 9-12), Appomattox Middle School (Grades 6-8), Appomattox Elementary School (Grades 3-5), and Appomattox Primary School (Preschool – Grade 2); we will engage students in meaningful, rigorous, and authentic learning experiences that will encourage relevant exploration of the state’s Standards of Learning and beyond and we are proud to announce that all of our schools are fully accredited by the Virginia Department of Education.  

    Our school division’s theme is “Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow” and our goal is to prepare every student with the skills needed to become productive and successful citizens on the local, state, national and/or global stage. We believe each child should have access to a high quality instructional team, up-to-date technology, and innovative lessons that will prepare our students to be career or college ready upon graduation. 

    I encourage you to explore our website and the links to each of our four schools’ websites.

    Go Raiders!

    Annette A. Bennett, Ed. D.
    Division Superintendent

  • ACHS Teacher Wins Creative Teacher Campaign

    Congratulations to ACHS Culinary Arts Teacher Amanda Howard! The Mid-State Group awarded Mrs. Howard, a $500 grant as part of their first Creative Teacher Campaign. Mrs. Howard was nominated for enriching the lives of her students. During the voting process numerous past and present students, parents, and community members stated how she has impacted their lives. When asked how she will use the money she quoted “If I were to win the money I would be able to get updated equipment and utensils for the kitchen. Learning valuable skills now will be used to either feed themselves or being able to have a skill to fall back on later in life.”

    • your local television and radio stations
    • the ACPS webpage
    • the ACPS Mobile APP &
    • our automated phone calling system

    Please make sure your contact information is current in the PowerSchool system so that we can reach you with important information.  We ask that you do not call the school offices to ask about closings or delays when there is a weather event as we need to keep all phones lines open in the event of an emergency.
