Our end-of-year gala is a highlight of the year, bringing together educators, leaders, and community supporters to honor the outstanding achievements of Richmond Public Schools’ dedicated staff. This prestigious event recognizes excellence in teaching and leadership, highlights inspiring stories from our schools, and celebrates the unwavering commitment of those who make a difference every day.

It is an opportunity to show our appreciation and share our collective pride in the work that shapes the future of our students.

Thriving Talent is built on the belief that investing in our educators translates to better outcomes for students. To retain, develop, and attract top talent, we have developed competitive compensation incentives that reward innovation, leadership, and dedication.

These incentives are designed to recognize the hard work of our educators, encourage professional growth, and ensure that every classroom is led by teachers and staff who are motivated, supported, and valued.
