Grizzlies Games Canceled for January 31st!

Weather Communication from HCS: Henderson County Schools will be closed this week, Monday, January 26, through Friday, January 30. Our county and the state are presently under a State of Emergency proclamation due to the winter storm we experienced and its ongoing aftermath. Hazardous travel conditions and continued safety concerns exist across our district, making this closure necessary to protect students, staff, and families. We encourage everyone to take appropriate precautions during this time, limit travel when possible, and remain mindful of hazardous weather conditions. During this challenging time, we ask our school community to keep one another in their thoughts and prayers. As always, our priority is the safety and well-being of those we serve, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Henderson County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 26, and Tuesday, January 27th due to an anticipated winter storm forecast by the National Weather Service and extreme cold through Tuesday morning. Based on current information, weather conditions are expected to create potentially hazardous travel and safety concerns across our district.
We will continue to monitor weather updates closely and will communicate any additional information as it becomes available. Please take appropriate precautions during this time, and we encourage everyone to stay safe and stay warm.

The 8th grade welcomed a visitor from the past today! We greatly appreciated General Grant joining us via Zoom to share his insights on the Battle of Shiloh.
