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.

Henry County High School is an overall good school to be in. The staff makes sure that every kid gets a good education, and they also care very much for the students like putting us first. One thing that I would have to say that I do not like about they school would have to be some of the graduation requirements. Some of the requirements just do not make sense to me, but I know that the teachers have those rules in place to help every student be ready for what it will be like in the real world, all they are trying to do is just prepare the kids for what will come and happen after high school.

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...
