For the third year, the Virginia School Boards Association is sponsoring a personal essay/speaking contest open to all Virginia public high school students (grades 9-12). This year's topic is "The Meaning of Civility."
Finalists will have an opportunity to present before an audience of more than 300 school board members and administrators at the 2023 VSBA Conference on Education, to be held at the Hilton Richmond Hotel and Spa at Short Pump July 13. Thanks to a donation from an anonymous sponsor, the top finalist will receive a $500 scholarship.
The deadline to submit essays is May 5 at 4 p.m.
