MATOACA, VA (WWBT/CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Chesterfield County Schools is correcting an embarrassing misspelling on diplomas for graduates from former UVA football star James Farrior’s alma mater. Viewers first sent images to NBC12 in Richmond from families of graduates of Matoaca High School of diplomas handed out Monday at graduation. The diploma had all the letters of Matoaca in the spelling, but some of them were in the wrong order.
