Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) is committed to the right to achieve and the support to succeed for all students. This commitment includes providing opportunities for our students to develop life skills that will ensure individual success in a connected world. We live in rapidly changing times, with online opportunities and risks for all users, especially young people. A variety of powerful technologies means information is readily communicated, acquired, shared, modified, and posted. HCPS realized the need to help guide and empower students to take advantage of digital opportunities while simultaneously mitigating inherent risks in becoming digital citizens. For this reason, the Digital Citizenship Program was created and implemented by the HCPS Division of Instructional Technology.
