Middle Schools
Henry County’s seven middle schools serve students in
grades 6, 7 and 8. Middle schools are designed to bridge the gap between elementary and
high schools. Students are assigned to teaching teams who are responsible for teaching the
academic subjects, which include language arts, mathematics, social studies, science,
health, physical education and exploratory. The exploratory classes provide students a
wide variety of experiences. In six-week intervals students can take explorations in
technology, home economics, music, foreign languages, art and others.
The general beginning time for secondary schools is 8:35 a.m. and the
general ending time is 3:30 p.m. Schools may adjust the beginning and
ending times to better accommodate transportation services.
High
Schools
Henry County’s five comprehensive high
schools serve students in grades 9 through 12. In addition, students in grades 8-12 are
served in the system’s alternative school, Patrick Henry High School.
Twenty-two
units of study are required for graduation. The high school areas of study are English,
science, mathematics, social studies, foreign language, health and physical education. The
school system also offers high school students a sound Advanced Placement program, special
honors courses and a comprehensive vocational education program. In addition, all
four regular high schools have nationally recognized National Junior ROTC programs. All schools
are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and Accredited With
Quality by the Georgia Accrediting Commission.
The general beginning time for secondary schools is 8:35 a.m. and the
general ending time is 3:30 p.m. Schools may adjust the beginning and
ending times to better accommodate transportation services.
