“She is constantly making sure everyone in the English department is okay, both mentally and physically, in the classroom. From helping us with our weaknesses and providing resources to just offering a kind smile, Mrs. Hensley is a constant force for good at Heritage High School.

If you see our student-run food truck out and about, think of Robbie Dooley. We dedicated the Lunchburg Express to his memory. ❤️‍🩹

Robbie served as our Supervisor of Career and Technical Education (CTE) for three years. Before he passed away, Robbie launched the Lynchburg City Schools food truck program in partnership with Lynchburg Beacon of Hope. Donated by Intuit last fall, the Lunchburg Express prepares students for future success through hands-on learning in a variety of fields, from culinary arts to entrepreneurship.

Robbie’s legacy will live on through the food truck and the work he did to strengthen our CTE programs. 🕊️
