Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program

Hal Henderson is home of the Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program. Mrs. Angela Capers, a "highly qualified" teacher with exceptional talents, developed the program during the 2008-2009 academic year. Mrs. Karen Graves, a "highly qualified" paraprofessional, works collaboratively with the 2010-2011 teacher, Mrs. Patricia Cook, to continously move the program forward. Mrs. Cook was previously our State Department of Education Technical Assistant who evaluated our program. We have 18 students enrolled in Pre-K. I am also pleased to announce that our site has been recognized by the State Department of Education as "exemplary."

Ms. Duncan's Retirement Celebration

On Wednesday, September 27, 2006, we celebrated Ms. Duncan's retirement. The celebration was "bitter-sweet." Ms. Duncan has been a special member of the Hal Henderson Faculty, and she will truly be missed by ALL. Ms. Duncan's friends were invited to attend and all of the Henderson faculty and staff pitched in to make it a beautiful event. Ms. Duncan had several gifts to open, and I believe she loved each and every one of them. Hal Henderson faculty and staff gave Ms. Duncan salt and pepper shakers to add to her collection, a chain, and a "J" charm.
Ms. Duncan's smiling face and positive comments were an asset to the school. She always brought charm and enthusiasm on Tuesday and Thursday. Ms. Duncan was described by all as a "special friend" who made such a difference in the lives of both students and adults. Ms. Davis described Ms. Duncan as a "saint." Good luck, Ms. Duncan, we hope you play all the tennis you wish to play in your free time. Please come back for a visit.
