Vision

Charles R. Henderson Academy prepares all students for success in college and careers. At Henderson, we create an environment where all students experience JOY and feel safe. We empower scholars to solve problems, collaborate, and explore their creative potential. Core grade level instruction in literature, STEM programming and the arts, accelerates students' academic achievement. Student centered decision making, critical thinking, language acquisition and communication skills are essential tools that support mastery of CCS and NGSS embraced at Henderson.
