I enjoyed my time at Henry County High School. Just like anything else, it could be improved in many ways. I always felt that I never learned important life skills that I should have been required to learn in high school. For example: taxes, money management, etc. Thankfully my parents taught me these things, but not everyone has parents that are willing to teach their children these important life skills.

I will forever be great full for the access to theatre and visual arts within this school. (Dedicated classes with budgets and clubs). There are many teachers and staff members who are wonderful and work very hard to try to make it a good place. Students with low income houses are able to check out laptops for virtual work. However, there is an atmosphere about the school that makes its students feel that they shouldn't push themselves to go far out in the world or do great things, like the town itself is the universe itself. It's not a horrible place, but it forces most people to not dream big.

Henry County High School made sure all students got the education and experience they needed to prepare for their next steps after high school, no matter what they planned to do.

As a parent I feel the Parent/School interactions are more structured like a seminar. Show up, sit down, listen, leave. The interaction isn't very engaging, but the school has a large population so unsure how to fix these on a large scale. Perhaps focus more on Teacher - Class and less School-Family...
