My overall experience was positive. At the time the classes preparing students for college were good, but the overall readiness for what comes next needed improvement. The teachers and support staff were great.

My experience at Henry Highschool has been amazing so far. I enjoy walking around the big campus during passing periods and I like the various choices for electives. I like the way Henry Highschool gives you the freedom to choose your own path with things like film production, photography, art, music, and engineering.
