As a parent of 3 children who have all attended Henkle, I fell compelled to attest to comments before me on this site and relay my view of this school. Our family can not be MORE PLEASED with the education level, athletics, art and music programs and aptitude of educators and staff within this school community. Teachers strive to hold a standard of excellence with each student, and measures are taken in a positive manner to encourage discipline and behavior with success in mind. As a regular substitute teacher within the district, I am always impressed with the curriculum and delivery of lessons that each teacher uniquely plans. Hands down, I support and encourage anyone who is considering a middle school education for their child with proven success to attend Henkle. The administrators, from the Principal to Vice Principal to support staff also adhere to a policy that only fosters success!
While the teaching staff is in an increased state of turnover, after years of relative stability,there's many EXCELLENT teachers at Henkle. Of course, parents still need to stay involved to keep their kids connected & learning. Sometimes this is advocating for their child, but sometimes it's advocating for the teacher(s). Any school is challenged to give every child, high or low functioning, complete support of their unique interests. For a school this size, I think, they do an exceptional job. Again, it's a parents responsibility to get additional support if needed for their child's unique needs. The district strives to keep art education in the curriculum. 5th & 6th graders get 2 1/2 hrs./week with an art teacher, also get time with a music teacher weekly. Interpersonal communication, community service, and equality are also emphasized. I've witnessed so much progress in these areas over the last 5 years. Love it!
I've been extremely impressed with the teachers, the principle, the administration, and the curriculum.
