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. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
