Triplett Tech Entrepreneurship Club Holds First Meeting
The first meeting of the Triplett Tech Entrepreneurship Club (TEC) was held Thursday! Operating in partnership with Shenandoah County Economic Development and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), TEC aims to help students develop a real business idea from scratch and pitch it for seed funding at the end of the year.

Meeting once a month throughout the school year, each session will feature a guest speaker who will share their own entrepreneurial story, teach a practical concept, and then help students apply it to their own business idea. By the end of the year, each student will have built a complete business pitch piece by piece.

John Fogle, the Business Retention & Expansion Manger with Shenandoah County Economic Development, was the first speaker and helped students identify opportunities related to their business ideas.

This is an amazing opportunity for our students who have dreams of starting their own business or already have done so and are looking for support and resources to help grow it!

Friday Update Sept. 18, 2026
Happy Friday! Here is your Friday Update for Sept. 18, 2026.

This week we celebrated National #TeachAg Day, an annual initiative led by the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) that recognizes the vital role agriculture teachers play in preparing students for careers in agriculture, food, and natural resources. It encourages the next generation to consider joining this profession. We want to thank our agriculture education teachers across our division. Whether they are running a greenhouse, leading an FFA chapter, teaching animal science, or mentoring students through their SAE projects, they are shaping students' futures in ways that go far outside the traditional classroom. Agricultural education teaches responsibility, leadership, technical skill, and a connection to the land and community.

The SCPS Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 22, in the School Board Office Training Room on the second floor at 600 N. Main Street in Woodstock. This meeting is open to the public and its purpose is to advise the division on the needs of students with disabilities, provide input on special education policies and practices, and help interpret special education plans to the community. If you have any questions, please email SEAC@shenandoah.k12.va.us.

The United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP) is a national, nonpartisan initiative that helps high school students deepen their understanding of American government and explore careers in public service. VDOE will select two Virginia delegates for the 65th Annual USSYP, sponsored by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation. Each delegate will receive a $12,500 scholarship and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., for Washington Week, March 6-13, 2027. Applicants must complete an application, submit three essays, and provide two recommendation letters. Detailed program information is available on the VDOE USSYP website and the USSYP website. Please note that only juniors and seniors are eligible to participate. Applications are currently open through the Online Student Application Portal and are due by 5 p.m. on September 25.
