Shenandoah County Public Schools

What Shenandoah County Public Schools does

Shenandoah County Public Schools (SCPS) is a K-12 public school division headquartered in Woodstock, Virginia, serving approximately 5,630 students across ten schools: three elementary, three middle, three high schools, and one career and technical school (Triplett Tech). The division employs 1,035 teaching and support staff and is governed by the Shenandoah County School Board under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Melody Sheppard. SCPS also hosts the Massanutten Regional Governor's School, extending its educational mandate to gifted students from Shenandoah, Page, and Rockingham Counties and the City of Harrisonburg, giving the division a regional rather than purely single-county footprint.

The division's technology stack is built around third-party platforms provided primarily by the Virginia Department of Education and commercial vendors. Core instructional and administrative systems include Canvas LMS for learning management, PowerSchool for student information, Schoology as a secondary learning platform, and Google Workspace for Education. Operational systems include Edulog for transportation management with real-time GPS-based parent tracking via the Edulog Parent Portal app, SchoolMessenger for mass communications, MajorClarity for college and career readiness, and Varsity Tutors for Schools (a free partnership with the Virginia Association of School Superintendents) for 24/7 tutoring and test preparation. The division provides Chromebooks to students and maintains a Digital Resource Library through LearnPlatform, with back-office systems including Frontline/Aesop for absence management, Unified Talent Professional Learning for staff development, Vector Solutions/Safe Schools for compliance training, and Incident IQ for IT service management.

As a government state entity under Virginia law, SCPS is funded through local property tax appropriations, state education funding formulas, and federal grants for programs such as Title I and special education. Educational services are provided tuition-free to eligible students residing within the Shenandoah County attendance zone, with revenue figures not publicly disclosed. The division supports teacher development through a Professional Learning & Licensure Support Hub offering tuition assistance, alternative licensure pathways with up to $3,000 in reimbursement, mentoring, Praxis preparation, and a Dual Enrollment Credential Program. Recent positioning moves include a bell-to-bell cell phone and personal electronics policy and recognition of three schools with Virginia Exemplar Awards in 2025.
