Glen Allen High School Message from Mr. Davenport, Principal I would like to congratulate everyone in this Senior Class. It’s been a long road, but you made it and we are so proud of you! This year has not ended the way we anticipated, but through it all this senior class has been an extraordinary group to work with. You have created a culture of integrity, school pride, and good citizenship. There have been so many fabulous moments where I was truly impressed by the talent, the good choices, and the positive attitudes shown by the members of this senior class. Message from Ms. Bonner 12th Grade Administrator I can’t believe the Class of 2020 is finally graduating, and getting ready to begin their next chapter. It seems like just yesterday, with your room and bus number pinned to your shirt, that you started Kindergarten. You are a group of young adults who have continuously shown good character, empathy, and tremendous grit. We wish we could celebrate your accomplishments in person, but please focus on the good. This “pause” has allowed us all to realize what is important, and to make more of an effort to find the joy in life. We are so proud of all that you have accomplished, and we cannot wait to hear about your future success! Take pride in the fact that you have reached this milestone, and enjoy this time of celebration! Once a Jaguar, always a Jaguar! One team, one heartbeat, one family!

Although GRASP advisors are often able to assemble a sizable financial aid package for students, frequently other costs are not covered by the financial aid package. The need for small, targeted Last Dollar Scholarships became apparent, and through the generosity of our foundation, business and personal donors these scholarships became possible. The Last Dollar Scholarship of $1000 is awarded to De’Shawn Threatts! GRASP Pathways Scholarship GRASP’s Community College Pathways Scholarship is awarded to a student who will graduate with an Associate’s degree and transfer to a 4 year college to complete a Bachelor’s degree.
