CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) – Chesapeake Public Schools (CPS) kicked off the school year with an after Labor Day start date.
“We’re excited that over 800 plus Panthers are returning,” said Keith Hyater, Greenbrier Middle School Principal.
He said this year marks a milestone anniversary for Greenbrier Middle School.
“We are celebrating our 25th year of educational excellence,” Hyater said. “We’ll have activities going on this year. But most importantly, our mission is to provide high quality learning experience for our students in a safe environment.”
A safe environment means more security measure across CPS schools.
