I love this school. It's the best ever!
—Submitted by a student


Posted September 3, 2006

My husband attended Henagar and now our daughter attends the school. It is an awesome school. The faculty is the GREATEST! The principal is young and all the kids love him! He is very active with all the school activities and teachers, kids and parents get along with him very well. The only small complaint I can think of, is I wish they had more sports. They only have basketball.I know many years ago they had a football program. It was very popular for many years, and then suddenly it ceased. I would also like for them to do more with arts. Please, if your child/children have an opportunity to attend this school, do so!

This is a wonderful school.My parents went to school here,my husband and I went to school here,and now my children go to school here.I think that it is a very 'involved' school, with teachers, principal, and parents.
