The slain student, Diamond Brown-Mosby, played on the school’s varsity basketball team.
“Diamond was a kind young woman and a talented student athlete,” Henrico High School Principal Karin Castillo-Rose wrote in a message to families and staff on Friday morning. “Her loss will be felt on every walkway and classroom in our school.”
Henrico Police arrested a juvenile suspect today on charges of attempted robbery and murder. The juvenile is in custody at the Henrico Juvenile Detention Home.
ECPI expands Henrico campus, introduces culinary program
ECPI University, a proprietary university based in Virginia Beach, moved its Henrico campus in January to a new location in a building twice as big as its former location.
With the expansion comes a new program: the Culinary Institute of Virginia, ECPI University’s College of Culinary Arts. The program expanded from Hampton Roads to the greater Richmond market, and classes began last week.
The expansion of the Culinary Institute of Virginia from the Hampton Roads area to Henrico coincides with the campus’ physical expansion. The new campus at 11104 West Broad Street is about 5,000 square feet, while the former campus on Cox Road was only about half that size.
New Henrico Schools policy allows more nonresidents to attend
The Henrico School Board approved a revision to a policy governing nonresidents attending HCPS.
The former policy allowed students of HCPS employees who live outside of the county to attend traditional schools in Henrico — but it was limited to K-5 students, and there was a tuition associated with enrollment.
The revised policy permits students in grades K-12 who have guardians working as HCPS employees to attend HCPS schools, and tuition is waived. (It will be evaluated annually.)
