Virtual Academy

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.
