Suffolk City Public Schools is the branch of the government of the city of Suffolk, Virginia responsible for public K-12 education. Like all public school systems in the state, it is legally classified as a school division instead of a school district. Although Virginia school divisions perform the functions of school districts in other U.S. states, they have no independent taxing authority, instead relying on appropriations from their local governments.
The Superindentent of Schools is Dr. Deran R. Whitney. Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction is Dr. LaToya Harrison and the Assistant Superintendent of Student Services is Dr. Suzanne Rice. The school system operates 11elementary schools, four middle schools, three high schools, one alternative center and one College and Career Academy.
