Students working on a project in the Technical Center

Eighth graders and their families are invited to learn about high school options during two fairs:

  • 6:30-7:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at Clover Hill High, 13301 Kelly Green Lane
  • 6:30-7:30 p.m. Oct. 5 at Meadowbrook High, 4901 Cogbill Road

This video gives an overview of 13 specialty centers and three regional high schools. During eighth grade, Chesterfield students decide whether or not to apply to a specialty center within Chesterfield County Public Schools, to a governor’s school or to a regional technology school. Attending a specialty center fair provides in-person information to help make that decision. Additionally, in October and November, each specialty center will hold an open house to provide more information to families.

Specialty center details are available on the school system website. The window to apply for the 2024-25 school year runs Oct. 2-Dec. 1 for specialty centers and governor’s schools and runs Jan. 8-Feb. 16 for CodeRVA.
