Join us April 2 at 6:00 PM in the 4th & 5th grade hallway at HES for a very special Clothing Closet Ribbon Cutting!
Thanks to the hard work of Jordyn Taylor and Abby Logan, with guidance from their FCCLA advisor Cassie Fletcher—who herself was once a student at HES and had the joy of knowing Mrs. Pam Payne—HES now has a clothing closet to support students in need. We’ll be celebrating with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate this space in loving memory of Pam Payne, who devoted 27 years of service to HES.
Pam may be remembered most for the crazy skits she helped to write and “star” in as some wild and wacky character, bringing laughter and lightheartedness to test prep while encouraging students to do their very best. She would be thrilled to see these FCCLA students honoring her legacy in such a meaningful way.
Come celebrate this thoughtful addition and honor a true HES legend. Everyone is welcome! #FCCLA #GoldStandard

This Thursday, April 2, World Autism Awareness Day, Henrietta ISD will wear BLUE in support of those touched by autism.
Autism is more than a diagnosis—it’s a part of the lives of so many families in our community and beyond. Today, about 1 1 in 31 8-year-old children in the United States is identified with autism, reminding us just how many of our students, friends, and neighbors are impacted every day.
Wearing blue is a simple way to show compassion, understanding, and acceptance. It’s a reminder that every individual is unique, valued, and deserving of support and belonging.
Let’s come together as a Bearcat family to lift each other up, celebrate differences, and create a community where everyone feels seen

We’re excited to introduce a Botrista machine to our school café! This innovative addition is on our approved list of food offerings, and today our students are getting to taste test the new options.
We’re eager to hear what they think and explore whether this could become a regular part of our breakfast and lunch program. Providing healthy, appealing choices for our students is always a top priority, and we love finding new ways to keep things fresh and engaging.
A big thank you to our innovative HISD Food Services team for their partnership and support in helping us nourish our students with creativity and care. We can’t wait to see how our students respond!
