Amherst County PS

During the time that we are under the Governor’s Stay at Home order, I thought it would be important to provide some very specific advice to students and parents regarding different aspects of the coronavirus.  On our last two shows, we discussed how these unprecedented times impact our emotional health and the safety precautions needed during this time.  Today, we are going to talk with two ACPS teachers, Erin Calhoun and Kevin Christmas about staying active and physically fit during the pandemic.  Please join us!

Please join us today as we sit down with the Central Virginia Department of Health, District Epidemiologist, Haley Evans to discuss specifics about the COVID-19 virus along with very important safety precautions to be taken to keep your family safe.  She also spends time dispelling some popular "internet" myths about the virus.

Join us today for a very important conversation during these uncertain times.  Amherst County School Psychologists, Martha Anderson, Shannon Abatecola, and Jeff Williams will discuss advice for parents and students on how to handle the emotions created by this pandemic.

Today, we begin our three-part series on the spring sports programs at Amherst County High School. On today's show, we sit down with Baseball Coach, John Apperson and Senior Pitcher, Tyler Hargis,  and Outdoor Track Coach, Lance Carter, and State Champion Athlete, Amani Hankton to discuss the upcoming season. Part one in a three part series. 

Here in Amherst County Public Schools, we think it is very important to look for opportunities for our students to engage in extra-curricular activities to help build a sense of community and to teach many important life skills.  One of these extra-curricular programs is Archery.   On today’s show, we will sit down with members of our Elon Elementary Archery Team.  Please join us!

On today's show, we will sit down with a great community partner: the Amherst County Chamber of Commerce to discuss the role that the Chamber of Commerce plays in our mission of preparing students and the opportunities they are creating for our students.  Joining us for the conversation is Katie Mayo, Business Development Manager for the Chamber of Commerce, Sabrina Kennon, Business Operations Manager at Specialty Exterminating and Chair of the Amherst Chamber of Commerce, and Craig Maddox, Supervisor of CTE for ACPS. Please join us for this very important conversation.

Today, we continue our two-part series on the winter sports programs at Amherst County High School.  On today's show, we sit down with Indoor Track Coach, Lance Carter, Swimming Coach, Amanda Stanbery and Wrestling Coach, Jason Cox to discuss the season to date and their goals as the teams begin post-season tournament play.

Over the next two weeks, we will sit down with the coaches of the winter sports programs at Amherst County High School.  On today's show, Girl's Basketball Coach, Ron Carter and Boys' Basketball Coach, Segar Jordan join us to discuss the season to date and their goals as the teams begin post-season tournament play.

We are honored to have WSET Sports Director, Dennis Carter as our guest today.  We discuss his career and the state of high school athletics in Central Virginia.  As Dennis has just recently announced his retirement at year’s end, we thought it would be a great opportunity to reminisce and thank him for his service to this area.  Please join us.
