Henderson County Youth Leadership Students Visit State Capitol
Students from the Henderson County Youth Leadership program representing both Lexington High School (LHS) and Scotts Hill High School (SHHS) traveled to the Tennessee State Capitol today for a hands-on learning experience in state government.
During their visit, students had the opportunity to meet with State Representatives Brock Martin and Kirk Haston, as well as Senator Ed Jackson, Secretary of State Tre Hargett, Comptroller Jason Mumpowers, and Deputy Commissioner of Ag Bryan King. They spoke with the group about their roles in government and answered questions about the legislative process.
Students also observed real legislative activity by sitting in on subcommittee meetings held in the Cordell Hull Building. The experience allowed them to see firsthand how bills are discussed and reviewed before moving forward in the legislative process. Then, students participated in a mock legislative session inside the Capitol’s House chamber. During the session, they practiced debating issues and voting on legislation, giving them a realistic look at how lawmakers conduct official business.
The trip provided Henderson County Youth Leadership students with a valuable opportunity to learn more about state government and civic engagement while experiencing the legislative process in action.

Black History Month provides an opportunity to recognize and honor the achievements, resilience, leadership, and lasting contributions of Black Americans — in our nation, across Tennessee, and here in our own community.

Today we recognize and thank our School Resource Officers who faithfully serve our students and staff in our Henderson County Schools!
Our SROs are more than a presence in our buildings — they are mentors, protectors, and trusted adults who help create safe, supportive learning environments each day. Their commitment to our schools and our community does not go unnoticed.
We are grateful for their service and dedication to the students of Henderson County.
From Danny J Beecham, Director of Schools:
As National School Counselor Week comes to a close, I want to publicly thank our school counselors across Henderson County Schools for the very important role they play in our students' lives. They serve as trusted listeners, advocates, academic and career guides, and steady sources of encouragement for children and families navigating real challenges.
Much of their work happens quietly and behind the scenes, yet its impact is profound and lasting. I love our counselors. I worked for over 20 years as a school counselor before becoming Director of Schools. I know firsthand their work matters.
On behalf of our Board of Education and our entire district, please know how deeply appreciated you are. Henderson County Schools is stronger because of your commitment to our students. Thank you for the difference you make every day.
