Welcome to the Newport News Public School Educator HQ. This valuable resource was created to provide all teachers a "one stop shop" to grow, learn, and share best practices. Our goal is for teachers to become leaders who work together and who are committed to their own learning. We are proud of our outstanding, award-winning staff and provide every opportunity for them to share their skills and expertise.
