It is a rigorous course work with opportunities for college classes. Had a great experience at HCHS. I feel prepared.

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.

My time in high school were some of the best years of my life. I had great friends and wonderful opportunities. One of the biggest things that I believe I failed in learning was basic life skills like time management, money handling, etc. They do not do a great job of preparing you for college or life in general.

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...
