US Army Corps of Engineers at Philpott: Would like to announce that they will be conducting programs every Saturday and Sunday at 2:00pm at philpott throughout the winter to assure people that just because its cold does not mean that they can't go outside!

Henry County Public Schools
Received a grant which enables them to work with their current third grade students throughout the year in a special curriculum coordinated by UVA. During the month of November each class received a program from the US Army Corp of Engineers at Philpott Dam about bears.
Henry County is also conducting the first county wide Science Fair in April!
The trees from the Trees in the Classroom program are doing great. They are currently about 3 inches tall and will be planted in April.
