Exercise 1
Our progressive
school division, comprised of some 22,000 students, is known for offering
parents and students CHOICES. That's because we really understand that one size
doesn't fit all. So whether it's Robotics, AP Calculus or our nationally recognized
Food Service Program, the Hampton school division has something for
everyone. Add to that, the fact that
Hampton has more National Board Certified teachers than any other school
division on the Peninsula or southside Virginia, and it's clear to see why
we're always "The First Choice."

and Roman works. Some traveled to the
Muslim world, where many ancient works had been preserved.
