Henderson Middle School

The teachers at Henderson are a joke they don't have any control over the kids they teach and don't know how to demand respect from the children. I have had to many problems with my child going to this school I can't wait to get him out of there.

Henderson Middle School is by far the best school!!! I'm in the eighth grade, and each year I seem to become more attached to Henderson. All the people are extremely friendly. Even when I've had problems, the teachers and staff have been there for me. Mr. Burton, the principal has done an outstanding job with Henderson! I definitely give HMS 'TWO-THUMBS UP!!!' If there is any place you want your child to go.... it's Henderson Middle School.

I really love this school. My child has had great things to say about it and she and her friends love their secretary Ms. Moore in the office. She is a great blessing to that school and is a VERY GOOD people person, along with the principal, Mr. Burton. If it weren't for them I would probably change my child out of there. I admire the people of Henderson and give it an A.
