    Overview:  Henry County Schools is committed to ensuring success for each student and creating student agency through personalized learning opportunities is an essential part of that vision. The “EmpowerHCS” program is designed to support and enable this vision by providing the resources and support necessary for student and teacher success. As a component of this support, students will receive learning devices and access to a digital learning environment. We believe these tools will serve as yet another powerful learning resource in support of authentic learning experiences, 21st Century skills development (communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking), learner profiles, and opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery of core Henry County Teaching and Learning Standards.
