Principal's Message
The education program at W. W. Moore, Jr. Detention Home is a State Operated Program, which is directly supervised by the Virginia Department of Education.
The purpose of the education program is to provide appropriate educational services to school age students residing within the facility. The education program is designed to provide a continuum of program alternatives to meet the individual needs of students. Our main goal is to ensure that the educational services we provide will allow the student to maintain or advance their current academic level. In transitioning to and from the detention home, we will provide instruction that follows the student's home school curriculum, including the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs).
The mission of the education program at W. W. Moore, Jr. Detention Home is to provide high quality instruction that is based on the Standards of Learning (SOLs), to provide the educational support that will meet the individual needs of students, and to promote academic achievement.
Dr. Richard Wieringo, Principal
