WHY?
The Mission of Henderson County Schools is to provide extraordinary educational opportunities for every student.
The Vision of Henderson County Schools is to excel as a national innovative leader in education.
How we do that is up to us as individuals that represent our schools and community. We believe in building academic content knowledge and skills to mastery by giving students opportunities to grow in the areas of Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical thinking (4C’s)as they relate to each academic area. Our learning opportunities should always be framed in the mindset of how we will utilize resources to enhance our students’ learning and how we will share that knowledge / training with our students and others. In order to stay focused on innovative and effective teaching practices, we need to stay up to date on current uses of technology in the classroom that lead to the use of the 4C's.
The Google Certified Educator process leads us to a base level of mastery that takes out many of the daily "how do I ..." questions that arise. Having a solid knowledge and skill base in G-Suite becomes an invaluable time and energy saver!
