From the Desk of Dr. Cotton
Summer is here for HCPS teachers and students! I hope you enjoy some time during June and July to rest and recharge. Though HCPS will be closed on Fridays during the summer, our administrative staff will be working diligently to prepare schools for your return on August 1. We look forward to seeing you then and hearing about the great things you experienced during your well-deserved break. Be sure to join us August 2 at Bassett High School for convocation, where we will hear from Dave Burgess, author of Teach Like a Pirate, and begin what will be another great year in Henry County Public Schools!
