Today was a good day in the Henderson County School District!
Our once a year district-wide inservice brought together the over 600 employees to hear the messages that matter as we prepare for the year ahead. It’s a rare moment when we’re all in the same room, and it serves as a clear reminder: it takes every one of us to make this district work.
We’re proud of the people who make Henderson County Schools what it is—and we’re ready for a strong start to the year!
