Lunenburg County Public Schools proudly celebrates our November 2025 Eagle Award winners! 
These awards honor the outstanding dedication and excellence of our staff and students across four categories — Administrator, Certified Employee, Classified Employee, and Student. Each winner was recognized at Monday night’s School Board meeting for their incredible contributions to our LCPS community.

Her leadership creates a culture of trust, teamwork, and joy in learning—truly the mark of an exceptional administrator!
Certified Employee – JuVarshia Ragsdale, VES Pre-K Teacher
Mrs. Ragsdale’s classroom radiates warmth, laughter, and a love for learning! Beloved by students and parents alike, she goes above and beyond to make every child feel valued and confident. Her leadership and dedication helped the VES Preschool Program earn the VQB5 “Excellence Honor Roll” for exceeding expectations—one of only three public school programs in our region to achieve this honor.

From HVAC and plumbing to electrical work, carpentry, and daily maintenance, they handle every challenge with expertise and a positive attitude.
Their dedication ensures that students and staff have safe, clean, and comfortable environments to learn and work in every day.
