Voluntary PreK (VPK) is an income-based program and priority will be given to those families that qualify. Completing the Henderson County PreK application packet does not guarantee enrollment in the PreK program. Non-income eligible students are placed on a waiting list once all paperwork is complete. Per the VPK grant guidelines, non-income eligible students will be notified mid-September informing them of their waitlist status.
The South Haven family is thrilled to congratulate our amazing School Resource Officer, Jason McCallister, and his wife Mariah, on the birth of their beautiful baby girl, Harlee Grace! 💗
Born on July 22, Harlee made her grand entrance weighing 7 lbs 3 oz and measuring 20.5 inches long — pure sweetness from head to toe!
Join us in sending lots of love and warm wishes to the McCallister family as they begin this exciting new chapter! 🍼🦅💕
