If you’re new to the area, congratulations and welcome to Hampton Roads, home to more military families than anywhere else in the world. This area boasts over 68,000 military children from all branches of the service: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard. Hampton Roads is a superb place for families. In addition to great amenities and recreational facilities found on each installation, our location offers unlimited points of interest in the surrounding communities with local schools committed to providing a quality education for our families. As your School Liaison Officer, my role is to improve transitional support for school children of military personnel by establishing partnerships between the base and local schools, advocating for military children, increasing awareness of the unique needs of military children, and providing a process to address and resolve military specific issues affecting students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. There are two school systems serving Langley AFB. Main base housing residents attend Hampton City Schools, with 36 schools and approximately 23,000 students. For main base there are one elementary, one middle, and one high school serving as primary feeder schools. The nearby Bethel Manor housing area residents attend York County Schools, with 19 schools and approximately 13,000 students. Bethel Manor residents are serviced by two elementary, two middle and two high schools, depending on where you live in Bethel Manor. There is one school system serving families who live on Fort Eustis--Newport News Public Schools, with 45 schools and approximately 33,000 students. General Stanford Elementary is located on Fort Eustis with a student population of approximately 600. Reservoir Middle School with approximately 550 students, and Woodside High School with approximately 2000 students, are located not far from the installation. There are many opportunities to expand educational opportunities by applying to a Magnet school to further challenge the talents of your children—we encourage you to explore your options. For those living off the installation, there are opportunities for families to attend schools in nearby cities. There is also an extensive listing of private schools in the area for you to choose from. We have a superb relationship with the school districts. Our commitment as a member of the surrounding school districts/communities is very strong—we will need your help to continue to expand this relationship to help improve our schools. Please consider volunteering in your children’s schools. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the School directly. Once again, welcome to Hampton Roads! 3 GENERAL INFORMATION New Student Registrations Bring the following documents at the time of registration: Student’s original certificate of birth or certified copy Record of immunization: See additional information below.

  • Growing the Military Mission in Virginia
    Growing the Military Mission in Virginia ★ ★ ★ “The Commonwealth’s Office of the Secretary of Veterans Key Virginia Statistics and Defense Affairs is undertaking a strategic approach to grow the military missions in Virginia.” ★ ★ ★ Why is this initiative important in YOUR District? Defense-related activities occur in all of the Commonwealth’s 100 House and 40 Senate districts, which overlap the 11 Congressional districts, and these activities have crucial implications for our national defense. All combined, the DOD contributes nearly $55 billion to Virginia’s economy – outpacing every other state and resulting in over 500,000 defense-related jobs across Virginia. These expenditures constitute approximately 12% of the Commonwealth’s Gross State Product (GSP). Due to these significant impacts, Governor McAuliffe issued Executive Order 11 which commissioned a strategic effort that resulted in twenty significant recommendations to grow the military mission in Virginia. Examples include: n Create a Center of Excellence that will teach a Whole of Government approach to national security challenges at the College of William and Mary. n Support expanding the Rivanna Station Integrated Intelligence Campus in Charlottesville. n Support expanding Joint Service and Special Operations Command training opportunities at both Fort AP Hill and Fort Pickett. All recommendations by the Commission on Military Installations and Defense Activities can be reviewed in detail in a report published by the Secretary of Veterans and Defense Affairs available at https://vada.virginia.gov. These recommendations, if fully developed, will result in an increase in the military missions within the Commonwealth, which corresponds to increased defense investment, more jobs, and greater economic stability.
