The power has been restored to both our NIS and HHS campuses. Students are returning to their classes.
Earlier today a number of Henderson Middle School students reported to campus administrators that last Friday they overheard another student making threats against students and the campus. Administrators, working with both campus resource officers and the local police department, immediately began investigating the incident. It was quickly determined there was no current or prior danger to any HISD students or staff. The campus was not placed in “lock-down” and the planned schedule for this week has not changed. Unfortunately, many false rumors have been circulating concerning the reports. A complete investigation is ongoing and many of the specific details of the incident remain confidential. However, we would like to thank the students who, in an effort to keep people safe, came forward to make reports. The safety of all our students and staff remains our highest priority and HISD will continue to enforce all appropriate disciplinary measures whenever their safety is threatened.

Henderson ISD Trustees have named Dea Henry the district’s new Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction. Henry, who has served as a principal at both Henderson High School and Northside Elementary, brings to the role several years of administrative and teaching experience. Henry’s promotion not only fills a vacancy left by the departure of Dr. Stephanie Bonneau, who recently accepted a position at Mansfield ISD, it also triggered a series of moves in campus leadership at the high school and middle school.
The board named Shannon Dickerson as the new Henderson High School principal and Russell Wylie as principal of Henderson Middle School. Dickerson was serving as HMS principal and Wylie as an assistant principal at the high school.
Summer Meal Pick Up! Meals at no charge up to 18 years old. Middle school bus shuttle area from June 6-30 (Mon.-Thurs.) 12:00-12:30 pm.
HISD Families,
Like you, we are shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday. We share in the heartbreak we are all feeling for the families who have lost a loved one due to this senseless act of violence.
School should and must be a place where students feel completely safe and secure. As an added precaution, we are working with our local law enforcement officials to have an increased police presence in and around our buildings for the rest of the week.
We know that children and teens will process this news in different ways. Counselors are available at each of our school buildings to assist students who may need some extra support. We strongly encourage any students to stop by the counseling office at any time.
Please join us in keeping the students, staff, and families of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
Respectfully,
Dr. Thurston B. Lamb, Jr.
Superintendent
Henderson ISD
May Reminders! Please see images.

While rain is causing some flooding and power outages in portions of Rusk County, all HISD campuses are open. We know some staff and students live in or must drive through the areas impacted by last night’s storms and encourage all to be cautious when traveling this morning.
HISD is closely monitoring the developing weather across our area. We currently do not anticipate any major impact for our schools. Should the situation change, we will notify parents and staff. Please stay safe this evening.
HISD will conduct two emergency drills during the week of March 7 - 11. A "lockdown" drill will be conducted at every campus along with an off-site "evacuation" drill at Northside Intermediate School. Please visit http://HendersonISD.org/drill for more information.
HISD needs your input! Please take 4 minutes to let us know your thoughts on helping students after COVID. Thank you! https://HendersonISD.org/essersurvey
