We have a wonderful tradition here in Henderson that started a few years ago — our graduating seniors get to walk the halls of their former elementary and middle schools! 🎓✨ It's such a meaningful way to celebrate their journey & reconnect with former teachers &staff. Watching the younger students cheer them on reminds us all of how far they've come — and how bright their futures are!

Due to the potential for severe storms in our area, we will be dismissing school early today. • Elementary schools will dismiss at 1:30 p.m. • Secondary schools will dismiss at 2:30 p.m. All after-school activities are canceled for today. All Child Care Centers will remain open until 4:00 p.m. Parents, please make arrangements to pick up your child by that time. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
