Henrico Schools eyes change from class rank system
The toughest part of high school for Steven Bazianos was feeling like he wasn’t able to take the courses he was interested in because he needed so many Advanced Placement classes to place at the top of his class rank.
The Freeman High School graduate thought he could’ve had a better grasp on his career path had he been able to take classes that sparked his interest. But that didn’t seem like an option for him.
3 people killed in separate weekend shootings in Henrico
A violent Fourth of July weekend in Henrico County left three people – including two teens – dead and two other people injured, following three separate shootings.
