Bath County Community, we need your help!

We are beginning an important project that will help shape the future of Bath County Schools, and we want your voice to guide it.
Our district is creating a Portrait of a Learner, a shared vision that describes the core skills and qualities every student should develop by the time they graduate. This portrait will influence teaching, learning, and student success for years to come.

Your insight matters. Whether you are a parent, student, teacher, business owner, or community member, you have a unique perspective on what our learners need to thrive here in Bath County and beyond.

Please take a few minutes to complete our community survey. Your feedback will help us build a meaningful and accurate vision for the students who will one day lead our community.

Together, we can create something that truly reflects Bath County and strengthens the future for every child!
