“ More and more school divisions are turning to online professional courses for a variety of reasons and WHRO has emerged as a leader in digital content needs of Virginia educators. The course offerings are readily available, convenient, interactive, self-paced, and, in the current economic restraints, cost-efficient, which in a small district we could never replicate the level of service and support WHRO offers.” - Mrs. A. Katrise Perera, Division Superintendent, Isle of Wight County Schools

“ The courses were very informative-especially the TECH course. I learned so much in a short amount of time and have already begun to implement some of the strategies in my classroom. I have shared some ideas with other teachers as well.” - Mrs. Kim Domin, Virginia Teacher
