Be Ready Day One!
In preparation for the 2026-2027 school year, we encourage all families to complete the Annual Information Update through the Parent Portal. This process updates all contact information, transportation requests, medical/health information, and helps to ensure that your student will be ready on the first day of school, August 3, 2026.
Focus: ON - Promoting Distraction-Free Learning Environments
Beginning for the 2025-2026 school year, HCS students in grades K-12 are not permitted to display or use a cell phone, smartwatch, or other electronic communication device on school property during the school day.
In Pursuit of Exceptional
At Henry County Schools, we seek to ensure a high-quality, world-class education for every student that empowers them with exceptional opportunities and access that lead to success in a global society.
STEM for All
HCS is cultivating a dynamic learning environment that includes offering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educational opportunities across all grades.
