Hanover County Public Schools conducted a virtual Education Expo to help students learn more about high school educational opportunities and plan for their future. The Expo engaged students using a fun and familiar game format and aligned with our focus on providing relevant, equitable, and innovative learning experiences. After a message from Dr. Michael Gill, Superintendent of Schools, students were provided an overview of the programs and embarked on Expedition Expo, a virtual game board where they explored academic and career pathways. Developed in collaboration with school and division team members as well as our partners from MLWGS, CodeRVA, and Reynolds Community College, the mindset that guided our planning was to “think like a middle schooler.” The Expo was advertised using a variety of methods and targeted students in grades 4-8. All families can access the Expo at their convenience on our website at <a href="http://hcps.us/events/what_s_new/2020_education_expo">http://hcps.us/events/what_s_new/2020_education_expo  </a>
