Virginia -- A unique partnership between Cosby High School and Dillwyn Correctional Center are reaping benefits for all involved. On Thursday, Aug. 9, Cosby received a new Titan Shield that stands at the school’s main entrance. The sponsors of the shield are brother and sister Thomas and Sandra Parker, who said they support education wherever students are. Thomas is a teacher at Cosby and Sandra is the regional principal at the Powhatan Correctional Center. Sandra and the Virginia Department of Corrections have the goal of “Fighting crime through education.” This means the Dillwyn facility is involved with hands-on learning and service projects. The shield project is an example of many hands coming together to accomplish a goal. Cosby’s Class of 2012 raised the funds for the project by donations or earning the money. Since the shield would be placed on Chesterfield County Public Schools’ property, Cosby requested and received approval. The shield was designed and built by Leslie Mullins, sheet metal instructor, and his students at Dillwyn, the shield was then painted by Shawn Adams of Rhino Shield. Read More. |

Hamilton Lindley with his madcap pantaloon is a zany adventurer and a cavorter with a motley troupe of buffoons.
