Bearcats Advance to Regional Semifinals for First Time in a Decade
For the first time in 10 years, the Henrietta Bearcats are headed to the Regional Semifinals — and the entire community has reason to celebrate.
This historic season has been defined by grit, discipline, and a relentless commitment to one another. Through hard-fought district play and a determined postseason run, the Bearcats have earned their place among the region’s best, marking a milestone moment for the program.
Henrietta will face Slaton at 5:00 PM at Childress High School. Fans are encouraged to wear gold and pack the stands as the Bearcats continue their playoff journey.
A community sendoff will be held at 11:50 AM in front of the high school, giving students, staff, and supporters the opportunity to rally behind these young men before they hit the road.
This team has carried itself with pride and toughness all season long. Advancing to the Regional Semifinals for the first time in a decade is a testament to their hard work and to the strong tradition of Bearcat basketball.
No matter what happens next, this group has already secured its place in school history.
Go Bearcats! 💛🏀

I want to share an update regarding the school days missed due to snow and ice from January 26–30.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) allows districts to apply for a missed school day waiver under specific circumstances. Last night, our Board of Trustees approved the submission of this waiver request to TEA. I’m pleased to let you know that TEA has awarded our district the waiver, meaning we will not be required to make up the missed instructional days from January 28–30.
Under TEA rules, districts must have sufficient instructional minutes available to account for the first two missed days. Our district had already accumulated (or “banked”) more than enough instructional minutes earlier in the school year, and those banked minutes will cover the missed days on January 26 and 27. Because of this, and with the approved waiver, no calendar changes or makeup days are necessary.
As a result, our district calendar will remain the same for the remainder of the school year.
In short:
There will be no makeup days for the school closures due to snow and ice in late January.
Thank you for your flexibility during the winter weather and for your continued support of our students and staff. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
