Members of the community celebrated the opening of the new Clothes Closet in January 2018. The spacious, easily accessible store is part of the new 20,000 square-foot GoochlandCares (formerly Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services) facility that opened last year.

The search for the next principal of Goochland Middle School officially ended last week, with the announcement that acting principal Amie Potter has been appointed to fill the role vacated by Jennifer Rucker last October. Potter had been serving as the acting principal since Rucker left to serve as the Coordinator of Professional Development for Chesterfield County Public Schools. “Mrs. Potter is exactly what Goochland Middle School needs to continue to provide our students POTTER with the engaging experiences our teachers deliver each day, and I am excited to see her put her innovative ideas into action at GMS,” said GCPS superintendent Jeremy Raley. Potter began as a Goochland County teacher at Randolph Elementary in 2009 after teaching in the City of Richmond, New York City, and England. She served as assistant principal at GMS from 2014 until the fall of 2018. Potter resides in Goochland with husband Nate, Title I Mathematics Specialist at Byrd Elementary, and daughters Aurora and Alexandra.
