* 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 re-election in November 2023 so she can continue to work for excellence in Goochland County Public Schools.  

Experience — Depth and Breadth

Karen’s experience makes her a uniquely qualified candidate. Her service and advocacy for public education in Goochland began with her decision to major in education. Over time, she accepted more responsibility in challenging opportunities from the classroom to school division human resources leadership to serving on the Goochland County School board.

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.
