1) Perfect SOLs, high achievement and graduation success cheered in Petersburg City Public Schools

Six Petersburg High School students were honored in front of the community and the Board of the Petersburg City Public Schools this week for having achieved perfect scores of 600 in the spring State Standards of Learning Tests.

Alexander Davis scored a 600 in both English and Virginia/U.S. History; Samantha Barnes, in Virginia/U.S. History; Derrain Goode and John A. Hart Jr., in World History I; and Vyakunta Youngblood and Sharita Trapp, in World History II.

“That is top of the line and I’m very proud of them. These students studied and put forth the effort,” said Alicia Fields, principal of Petersburg High School. “I hope that they will make a pathway for more students to achieve scores of 600.”

At the meeting, PHS teacher Charles Hodge was also honored for having the class with the highest pass rate, a 98 percent; and Lavonte Hargraves was recognized for persevering to obtain his high school diploma this summer — his success enabled PHS to achieve a 100 percent graduation rate for the seniors enrolled in Summer School this year.
