Who is Joe Henderson?

Joe Henderson began his career in education as an eighth grade teacher. His favorite subject to teach was mathematics. When Mr. Henderson first started teaching, he was only four years older than his students. Later, he became a principal and also had to keep the busses running and the furnaces fixed. He organized a large band to play in local parades. Mr. Henderson eventually became the superintendent of elementary schools. He was honored when our school was named after him in 1986.

Parent Reviews

 

My family loves Joe Henderson! My son is in the afternoon kindergarten class with Ms.Costanza. She is an amazing teacher! My son has really enjoyed the past few months in her class. I love how organized every project, party and day is planned, and have enjoyed helping Ms.Costanza in the weekly class centers. Joe Henderson is an excellent school, and we are very blessed that our son attends such an amazing school. We hope that he can continue attending Joe Henderson for years to come!

I love Joe Henderson elementary school as it is filled with artwork and innovative projects by the students, along with a group of teachers incredibly dedicated to maximizing resources to give our children the best educational experience. There are many teachers in the school who have been there over 20 years,testifying to the solid foundation of the staff who are an incredibly committed and inspirational group of teachers. I have loved my children's experience with their teachers and the entire Joe Henderson community.
