Good morning,
Last evening we received multiple reports from students, staff, and concerned community members of a threat circulating on social media. We have been working closely with our Buckingham County Sheriff's Office. We have also taken action and made plans to ensure the safety of our students and staff today. We are proud of our students, staff, and community for speaking up and protecting our schools. We look forward to a good day of learning as we gear up for Spring Break.

February 9th, 2024 the Block and Bridle Horse Hippology Contest was held on the campus of Virginia Tech. This was a large event with over 100 participants in each age level division with members competing from 4H and FFA.
The Horse Hippology Contest is a test of knowledge related to the equine (horse) industry. Members must be able to identify tools, feeds, and breeds of horses along with a test that could cover a range of topics encompassing anatomy, history, and genetics. They must also place classes of horses based on their conformation and other desirable characteristics. The Senior Division team members were Anna Snoddy, Abigail Palmore, Amiah Porter, and Sarah Bryant. The team placed 41st overall out of 60 teams. Piper Scaldio competed as an individual in the Senior Division.
The Block and Bridle Club is an organization at Virginia Tech that is based around agriculture and animal science and holds similar values to the FFA.
