The City has listened to Henderson residents who strongly value education and want to elevate the importance of the City of Henderson being active in supporting our local schools. Since 2015, the City has provided millions of dollars to the public schools in our community for such items as improving and preserving educational facilities, technology resources, enhancing opportunities for early childhood education, providing curriculum support, learning specialist positions, and special education assistants. The City also actively partners with advocates, community members, and nonprofit organizations to further educational outcomes and is committed to supporting high-quality educational opportunities for all children and youth in Henderson.
