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."

WELCOME BACK!


WELCOME BACK! I hope you have had a great summer vacation. I hope you are rejuvenated and ready for the start of a new year at Hal Henderson.

As the beginning of a new school year approaches, I look forward to a new challenge. The first day of school offers excitement and promise for educators and students alike. When our students return to school on Thursday, August 7, 2008, we will have the opportunity to "MOVE FORWARD" and make a difference. The array of talents, as faculty, have far-reaching effects toward establishing a rich and stimulating learning environment for our students.

Joining our "Tiggerific" team this year are Brandi Taylor (first grade) Jeanette Seals (3rd grade) and Karen Graves (Pre-K instructional assistant). I want to extend a warm welcome to our new team members.

Again, welcome back!!! I look forward to the 2008-2009 school year and I envision a year filled with excitement and many reasons to celebrate.
