Henderson County Schools pauses to reflect on the importance of Black History Month.
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. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn, to listen, and to grow together. At each of our Henderson County Schools, we remain committed to ensuring every student feels seen, valued, and empowered to make a difference.

Henderson County Schools Closure and Academic Calendar Update
Henderson County Schools will be closed on Thursday, February 5 due to current road conditions.
On Friday, February 6, faculty and staff will participate in staff development activities, only if they are able to safely travel to their school (with virtual options if not able to safely travel). There will be no students in attendance on Friday, February 6.
Schools will reopen on Monday, February 9, and we will return to a full week (Monday - Friday) of school for students beginning that day.
(Please note: this is a modification to the district academic calendar. The original calendar listed staff development and parent-teacher conferences on Thursday, February 12 and Friday, February 13. Those dates will now be regular instructional days for students.)
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we make adjustments to keep everyone safe while minimizing disruptions to learning. Please continue to watch for updates from the district.

Subject: School Closure Wednesday, February 4, 2026
Henderson County Schools will not be in session tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4th. While we are hopeful that weather and road conditions will continue to improve throughout the day, there remains too much uncertainty at this time to safely resume normal school operations. Several roads and streets across the district remain hazardous, and we are unable to ensure safe operation of our bus routes or a consistent start to the school day.
The decision to close school is not made lightly. Student and staff safety remains our highest priority, and given the current conditions, proceeding with a regular school day would involve unnecessary risk. We will continue to closely monitor conditions and work with local officials as we plan for a safe return.
We sincerely miss having our students in our buildings and classrooms, and we look forward to welcoming them back as soon as it is safe to do so.
Thank you to our families and staff for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we navigate these circumstances together.

RE: School Closure
Henderson County Schools will remain closed on Monday, February 2nd, and Tuesday, February 3rd. While conditions across the district are gradually improving, they have not yet reached a level that allows the safe resumption of normal school operations. In addition, our area will be under a Severe Weather Advisory this weekend due to dangerously cold wind chills, which are expected to refreeze roadways and walking surfaces.
We encourage all families and staff to continue exercising caution, limit travel when possible, and remain mindful of hazardous conditions that may persist. District personnel will continue to closely monitor weather forecasts and road conditions and will evaluate our readiness to reopen schools as soon as it is safe to do so.
We truly miss having our students in our classrooms and cannot wait to welcome them back. As always, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our highest priority, and we sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and support.
