Last year was a time of change for Hanover County 

Public Schools and the Hanover Education Foundation. 

The retirement of our Superintendent, Dr. Stewart 

Roberson, is a big loss for our school division as he has 

done so many great things for Hanover County Public Schools 

and the Hanover Education Foundation. Rising out of that 

change, however, are great things. The appointment of Dr. Jamelle Wilson as our 12th 

Superintendent promises great things in the future. Dr. Wilson has served the school 

division in many capacities – from classroom teacher to Assistant Superintendent of 

Instruction – over the years. She has been able to observe Dr. Roberson’s leadership so 

that she can draw from his strengths, but she also will be able to add her exciting new 

ideas. We are poised for great things in the future with Hanover County Public Schools. 

There also has been change on the Board of the Hanover Education Foundation. 

The terms of Fitz Rogers, Wayne Dishman, Pamela Wratchford, Jeff Robinson, and Ann 

Smoot as members of the Board of Directors expired this year. They were all fantastic 

contributors to our Board, but I am confident that the existing board members and our 

new board members will step up to fill their shoes. 

Last year, we had a great year for the Hanover Education Foundation, raising 

over $322,000.00. In particular, Dr. Roberson allowed us to use his retirement as an 

opportunity for a fundraiser for the Stewart D. Roberson Professional Development 

Scholarship. Under the leadership of Sue Forbes Watson, Margaret Hill, and Anita Floyd, 

we were able to raise $135,000.00 toward that fund. In addition, we were able to award 

scholarships to 28 students totaling $51,000.00. 

In this, my last year as President, I am thrilled to be supported by such a strong 

Board and a great Executive Committee. We look forward to a great 2011 – 2012!

On December 14, 2010, Dr. Stewart 

D. Roberson, Hanover’s eleventh 

Superintendent of Schools, announced his 

retirement from Hanover County Public 

Schools. To honor the many accomplishments that 

have been made under his direction, a scholarship 

has been developed in his name. A scholarship 

dinner to recognize Dr. Roberson and his 16 

successful years of service was held on June 9, 2011, 

at Randolph Macon College. Guests in attendance 

included: Former Governor Gerald L. Baliles; Dr. 

Billy K. Cannady, Jr., Dean of the School of Continuing 

and Professional Studies at the University of Virginia; 

Jeffrey R. Beard, Director General for the International 

Baccalaureate program in Geneva, Switzerland, 

among many other state and local dignitaries.

Dispatch, greets Owen Matthews, Director of Finance for Kings

The community was invited to participate in this 

milestone by supporting the Stewart D. Roberson 

Scholarship. This support will strengthen the 

important investments provided by Hanover County 

Public Schools’ excellent faculty, staff, and school 

leaders, demonstrating further the great value Dr. 

Roberson has placed on training and professional 

development needs throughout his distinguished 

career as an educator and leader. The donations 

received through this scholarship fund will directly 

impact thousands of children influenced by each 

educator in Hanover. One hundred percent of all 

proceeds will benefit those who teach, lead and care 

for Hanover’s school children. The scholarship will be 

managed by the Hanover Education Foundation. 

Music was provided by The Remnants (George Sadler, Principal of Hanover High School is 

pictured on the back row left).

in Hanover County, and his mother, Dean Roberson Thrasher, who traveled from Patrick 

County for the celebration.

Hanover Education Foundation Awards Superintendent’s 

Professional Development Scholarship 

The Hanover Education Foundation (HEF) 

has awarded the 2010-2011 Superintendent’s 

Professional Development Scholarship to Kimberly 

Jameson-Dean, a Gifted and Talented Resource 

teacher at Kersey Creek Elementary School. 

Ms. Jameson-Dean used the $1,000 scholarship to 

attend the National Association for Gifted Children’s 

Annual Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana where 

she increased her knowledge base in areas such as 

the social/emotional needs of gifted students and 

how to best serve dual-identified students. Other 

goals included gaining more ideas for ways to enrich 

and accelerate in the core curriculum areas and obtaining more materials which will support student 

learning. Ms. Jameson-Dean plans to work with Dr. Deborah Waters, principal of Kersey Creek 

Elementary, to use a faculty meeting or professional development day to share what she learned from 

the conference. 

The Superintendent’s Professional Development Scholarship was initiated by the HEF in 1999 

and is awarded annually to a classroom teacher whose potential of achieving greater things with and 

for students in the classroom would be heightened if afforded a significant professional development 

opportunity. Funds from this scholarship can support tuition, books, travel and other activities relating 

to the professional development experience. The award was presented at the February 8, 2011, 

meeting of the Hanover County School Board. 

PGES Principal Rhonda 

Epling Receives Award 

As Hanover’s 

runner-up for the 

2011 R.E.B. Award 

for Distinguished 

Educational 

Leadership, Rhonda 

Epling, principal of 

Pole Green Elementary 

School, received a 

professional development scholarship from the 

Hanover Education Foundation in March 2011. 

This financial award will provide for a block 

of time for each grade level each day to tutor 

students in content areas for PGES’s Gator X 

remediation/enrichment program.

Gifts That Make a Difference for Hanover Students 

Verizon Foundation Grant Supports Reading Olympics 

Randy Dillard, Verizon Area Manager and grant coordinator, 

awards the 2010-2011 Regional Reading Olympians trophy 

to The Unicorns, Liberty Middle School’s winning team. 

Many students on this team were “RO” participants for five 

consecutive years. 

The Verizon Foundation 

continued their generous support of 

the Reading Olympics and Reading 

Olympians programs for 2010- 

2011 with a $24,750 grant through 

the Hanover Education Foundation. 

Verizon has supported “RO” since 

2003-2004 with grant contributions 

now totaling $160,000. Funds 

are used to purchase books and 

medals for student participants in 

grades four through eight. 

Reading Olympics and Reading 

Olympians work in teams to read 

the year’s selected books and to 

compete in question/answer events at their schools. Hanover County’s middle school 

teams can advance to county and regional competitions with students from Goochland 

and King William counties. Since the inception of Reading Olympics in 2001-2002, over 

18,000 students have participated in these exciting programs that culminate with spirited 

competitions! 

Randy Dillard, Verizon Area Manager and local grant liaison, has been instrumental in 

providing not only financial, but personal support of the Reading Olympics and Reading 

Olympians programs by attending competitions and engaging with students to share 

the importance of business and foundation support of public education. In his words, 

“readers are leaders” and the reading comprehension and cooperative teamwork learned 

through Reading Olympics and Reading Olympians are critical to lifelong success. 

The 2010-2011 Reading Olympians champion team for Hanover 

County was Yeah, We Read It from Chickahominy Middle School. 

This team placed second at the Regional RO competition. 

Building cooperative teamwork, sportsmanship, and fast friendships 

are important opportunities provided by the Reading Olympics and 

Reading Olympians programs.
