Henderson County Elementary School All-Star Game will be rescheduled for Thursday, January 16th. It will be played at Beaver Elementary School starting at 6 pm Thursday evening. Players will need their school uniform shorts. All- star jerseys will be provided.
Henderson County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 13th, 2025, due to hazardous conditions on many backroads throughout the district’s bus routes. After careful evaluation of road conditions, district officials have determined that it is unsafe for school buses to operate on several rural and secondary roads.
“The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority,” said Mr. Danny Beecham, Director of Henderson County Schools. “Although primary roads appear to be in good condition, many of our bus routes rely on backroads that remain challenging due to lingering snow and the threat of refreezing.”
We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our families and staff as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
Please be advised that Henderson County Schools will be closed on Friday, January 10th. However, today, January 9th, we are open as scheduled and all after-school activities will take place as previously planned. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Stay safe!
