Were you affected by the severe weather? Check here for resources!
We are working to ensure that all Henry County Schools students, employees and families have access to resources to heal and move forward from the hardship caused by Thursday’s severe weather.
We care deeply about our community and know that many are still in need. If you have been impacted by severe weather, please see the list below of available community resources. We will update the list as we learn of additional support. Please contact any organizations in advance to confirm the availability of resources.
