YCSD Programs Featured in State Directory

The Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) has released its 19th annual VSBA Showcases for Success directory, highlighting successful K-12 programs in Virginia’s public schools. The York County School Division is one of 58 school divisions from across the Commonwealth that has programs featured in the directory highlighting programs that emphasize Virtual/Blended Learning and/or Career & Technical Education.

One of the YCSD programs highlighted is the Grafton High School (GHS) partnership with NASA to participate in HUNCH (High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware), an innovative program that involves students fabricating real-world products for NASA as they apply their science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills, as well as learning to work in teams and think creatively. GHS Advanced Drawing students created a can crusher for astronauts to use in space.
