* Working For Excellence Through Experience *

Karen Horn is a dedicated public servant and lifetime educator who has served on the Goochland County School Board since 2018. She is seeking reelection in November 2023 so she can continue to work for excellence in Goochland County Public Schools.  

Her background and experience make Karen a uniquely qualified candidate. With time spent in both the classroom and administrative roles and serving on various education and policy setting committees in schools and public education organizations across the Commonwealth, she is able to bring a deeply knowledgeable perspective to the table.

The Experience section of this website outlines the depth and breadth of Karen’s background. Her service and advocacy for public education in Goochland began with her decision to major in education and accept more responsibility in challenging opportunities from the classroom to division leadership.

As a member of the Goochland County School Board, she further dedicated her service to our schools by serving in leadership roles on the local Board and on the Federal legislative committee in the Virginia School Board Association.

Through her anticipated re-election to the Board, Karen can continue her commitment by dedicating her time and energy to the students, staff, and families of the Goochland County Public Schools and to the citizens of Goochland County. 

“I have committed my heart, head, and hands to children throughout my life and career in education. Together we are a powerful force on a powerful mission to enthusiastically promote excellence for all learners while enhancing individual growth and student achievement. I respectfully ask for your support in the District 2 School Board election this fall.” – Karen Horn
