Teachers and staff across the region participation in Rejuvenate

Hampton City Schools celebrated its16th annual Rejuvenate Summer Learning Conference on July 30, 2026. This year the conference was offered to both HCS and Region 2 educators for a half day of learning centered on growth, connection, and renewed purpose.

 

Held just prior to the start of the school year, Rejuvenate continues to serve as a signature professional learning experience. The conference provided opportunities for collaboration, reflection, and skill-building, with a theme focused on refueling, recharging and reigniting.

 

“The sessions were relevant, engaging, and thoughtfully designed to support the needs of educators. It was especially valuable for our new teachers to experience the importance of this work and see firsthand how meaningful professional learning can strengthen their practice and positively impact students,” said Natalie M. Street, Ed.S., instructional coordinator of PD & CTE., Isle of Wight County Schools.

 

This year more than 350 participants engaged in a variety of interactive sessions led by HCS educators, focusing on topics such as social-emotional learning, student engagement, instructional practices, and staff wellness. Like previous years, the conference emphasized practical strategies that educators can immediately apply in their classrooms and schools.

 

Participants had the opportunity to interact with 16 different vendors and enter to win door prizes sponsored by the Hampton Education Foundation, Brain POP, Follett Learning and SkillStruck.
