Every day your student is in school is another opportunity to learn, achieve and succeed. Regular attendance and being on time help students stay connected to learning and take advantage of opportunities beyond the classroom. Please remember that excessive unexcused absences throughout the year may affect eligibility to participate in athletics, school events and dances, field trips, and leadership opportunities at some schools throughout the district. Let's help our students Be Present and Be Powerful! #BrightFuturesBeginInHCS #HenryProud #YouBelongInHenry
