Honoring Legacy. Inspiring the Future. Yesterday, our 8th grade students experienced a powerful moment of connection, history, and motivation as they heard from two remarkable GCPS alumni—Charles McKeller (Virginia Tech) and Jaidyn Forrest (Christopher Newport University). Their stories reflected perseverance, purpose, and pride in their Gloucester roots. Through the lens of Irene Morgan’s courageous legacy—a Gloucester native and national civil rights trailblazer—students saw how the past fuels progress, and how young leaders today are making a difference. Special thanks to the Irene Morgan Scholarship Foundation for making this unforgettable experience possible and continuing to invest in the bright futures of GCPS students. #LegacyInAction #GCPSPride #IreneMorgan #StudentVoicesMatter
