Education

While Henry County might seem like a place where nothing much happens, research by Henry County Middle School eighth grade English students unearthed enough stories to write a book on it.
Inspired by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s praised TED talk, “The danger of a single story,” Henry County Middle School English teacher Jessica Crenshaw challenged her students to look beyond the negative perceptions about the place where they live and find out more.

Henry County Adult Education will host a ceremony for the recent graduates in the free GED program on Dec. 18 at 3 p.m. at the Eminence Christian Church, according to a news release from site coordinator Betty Rankin.
Besides the free GED classes offered at the Henry County Adult Education center, it also makes many other programs available to local residents.
