Henderson County Family Resource Youth Services Center’s mission is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining academic success.

These coordinators help remove non-academic barriers to learning to enhance academic success for students in elementary through high school. FRYSCs have established a record of success based on improved student performance in class work, homework, and peer relations, as reported by teachers.

The Family Resource Youth Services Center is open to all Henderson County students and their families. 

An advisory council made up of school employees, parents, students (YSC only), and community representatives oversee and approve the center operation and expenditures of the Henderson County Family Resource Youth Services Centers. 

Each elementary school, middle, and high school in Henderson County has a center in each building. The Family Resource Youth Services Center office hours vary by center and are open Monday through Friday year-round. All centers have additional hours by appointment only.

Each day many students rely on healthy breakfast and lunch meals served at school to provide the daily nutrition needed to learn. For many, these meals may be the most nutritious they have throughout the week. What happens when they go home over the weekend?

The School Backpack program provides students with nutritious foods which are easy for students to open and prepare. These backpacks go home with students on Friday and are returned Monday. Numerous community organizations and volunteers support this program through donations of food, money and time.

To get involved with the Backpack program contact the board of education office at 270-831-5000.
