Headwaters

Headwaters’ mission is to foster educational excellence in Rappahannock County by cultivating the cooperative spirit and resources of the whole community to benefit all students.

Founded in 1997 by a group of public school parents to provide independent support for the public school system and to increase community involvement in education, Headwaters is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

Headwaters fulfills its mission through five major programs as well as through several annual events and targeted initiatives. Headwaters’ programs serve all of Rappahannock’s children, aiming to reach those at greatest risk.
