Did you know that Henrietta ISD has an Ambassador Academy? 🐾💛

Our HISD Ambassador Academy is an 8-month leadership program designed to give community members a behind-the-scenes look at how our school district operates. Participants learn about everything from school finance and district governance to student opportunities, bond projects, and legislative issues.

The goal is simple: to build informed community leaders who become strong advocates for our students, staff, and schools.

This program helps strengthen the partnership between Henrietta ISD and our community because we believe that when our community understands our schools, we all grow stronger together.

A special thank you to HISD School Board Vice President Betty Ellsworth for her leadership and dedication in guiding our Ambassador Academy. Her passion for public education and commitment to building strong community relationships have helped make this program a tremendous success!

Henrietta ISD is excited to announce that Clint Perkins has been named Principal of Henrietta High School for the 2026–2027 school year! 

Henrietta High School holds a special place in Mr. Perkins’ heart. He began his administrative career at HHS as assistant principal in 2015, after teaching Biology and U.S. History from 2013–2015. This year marks his 26th year in education and 12th year in administration, with 8 of those years spent serving Henrietta ISD.

Mr. Perkins has a deep appreciation for the traditions, pride, and strong sense of community that make HHS such a special place. He is passionate about making a difference for students and looks forward to continuing the high standards and long-standing traditions that define Henrietta High School.

This year will be especially meaningful as he celebrates alongside his former HJH students — his first class of 8th graders, who are now entering their senior year.

Please join us in giving Mr. Perkins a big Bearcat welcome to HHS!
