• School Council Election - August 22 Local School Councils were established by the Georgia Legislature several years ago to ensure shared decision making in our public schools. Henderson's Council is comprised of a principal, two certified teachers, two parent businesspersons and two parent/guardians.  An election will be held Aug. 22 to fill two open parent and/or parent business seats on the Council.
