I enjoy attending patrick henry high school! It has lots of school spirit, and many smart, kind students.
6/18/2024
I enjoyed taking art classes such as ceramics and becoming closer with my teachers. I think some of the staff weren't the greatest though.

This school has supplied me with the tools and skills I need in preparation for my journey to my prospective college. As a student with an IEP, I require certain accommodations in the classroom, which Henry High has generously given me. The support from my teachers and the positive encouragement from the staff, make me feel safe and welcome. I am eager to make the most of my college opportunities by utilizing the skills they have taught me.
