Video: Stafford Rings In New School Year

NORTH STAFFORD, Va. -- Hundreds of educators packed the gym at North Stafford High School on Tuesday morning to celebrate their return to the classroom.

A county-wide celebration was held for the second year in a row and spearheaded by Stafford Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Randy Bridges who is now in his second year on the job.

It was a way to celebrate recent accomplishments and rally for new successes in the coming year. Bridges outlined “smart goals” which will be measured throughout the school year. He also presented a plan that includes reading improvement for students not already reading at a third grade level, more focus on math while getting more middle school students to grasp algebra, and improving overall test scores.
