5.0 Freshman

I have been in this district for my entire life. This is my first year in high school, yet I still love it and appreciate everyone here. I wish a few issues were addressed, but overall, the aura is amazing. I play sports for my school as well, I was even allowed to play up in middle school, and it is a great program they have here. They have a wide range of classes you are also allowed to take, as I am taking college classes right now. This helps in the long run because it gives you a head start, allowing me to be a freshman in college and high school, and giving you free schooling that gives you a jumpstart.

Excellent school that my grandson went to and then went to UofK but still stops at Henry Co because he loved the school and teachers. They taught him more than lessons. They genuinely cared how he felt and learned.
