HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — It was a star-studded, Star Struck event, featuring local stars from The Academy at Virginia Randolph.
Students showcased their talents in front of their peers. The talent show featured students playing the guitar, singing, rapping and even stepping.
The theme was "Don't Quit - Keep Going;" serving as a great reminder for the high school students who are working hard to overcome various challenges and achieve their ultimate goal of graduating.
CBS 6 anchor GeNienne Samuels was one of the guest speakers at the talent show.
