Roanoke County Public Schools

We are so proud to be part of an amazing group of educators working to reimagine learning in the classroom!

Our new Future of High School Innovation story looks at three school systems that decided to redesign how students learn in the classroom and what happened when they did. In Indiana, Virginia, and Philadelphia, educators are rebuilding daily instruction around competency and transparency. In doing so, they are creating purpose and agency in their students, leading to positive results that show up in student trajectories.

At Roanoke County Public Schools, a diploma should reflect who a student has become. For more than a decade, our C-Change Framework has guided us toward assessment systems that capture growth wherever it happens: in classrooms, on the job, in the community, and on the field.
We’re proud to be part of The Future of High Schools Network, where we’re learning alongside districts across the country how to make assessment a tool for student growth not a measure of compliance.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!!! Remember, you can go back and watch graduation anytime you want (we have on demand playback of graduations all the way back to 2017).
www.rcps.us/graduation. We want to also give a huge shoutout to several students from the Burton Center for Arts & Technology Center for Mass Communications for helping us put on this year's Graduation Live!

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!!!
We hope you have a great summer and we'll see our returning students back on August 13 for the start of the 2026-2027 school year.
