… a focus on building both strong character and

strong minds, we create the learners of today who

will be the leaders of tomorrow…

From the HIS website

Moving forward is never the easiest thing to do, but it’s

a good thing because it means new doors will be

opened, leading me to new learning experiences. I don’t

know what the future holds, truthfully, I have no idea,

and that’s the exciting part, the curiosity, knowing that

the possibilities are endless.

Excerpt from graduation speech, Class of 2014

I can dream my wildest dreams and if I work towards

them, my dreams can become a reality. That’s what I

love about this point in my life, the world is a blank

canvas and I can make my mark wherever I want.

Excerpt from graduation speech, Class of 2014

The Henderson International School was a great fit for

me as a student because the school specializes in one

on one attention. The teachers get down to a personal

level with you instead of just trying to get the job done.

Excerpt from graduation speech, Class of 2014

“Middle school’s where you make your mistakes,” is

what most teachers have told me and I will definitely

learn from all the mistakes I’ve made and definitely do

my best in the future.

Excerpt from graduation speech, Class of 2014

I have been at the Henderson International School for

eight years. Eight years is a large chunk of my life. You

may be asking yourself, why did he continue to stay at

the same school for eight years?

The answer is simple… because it was worth it.

This school was worth staying at, because it has

enlightened me, taught me important social skills, and

prepared me for the future.

Excerpt from graduation speech, Class of 2014

The Henderson International School has prepared me

for transitioning from middle school to high school.

Between my parents and teachers, I don't know who

motivates me more to excel and go beyond what is

needed for the bare minimum.

Excerpt from graduation speech, Class of 2014

This school is like a second home to me, and I love that

the Henderson International School gives us a safe

learning environment where we can grow into brilliant

people, and that is all thanks to the teachers I respect

and love with all my heart. It hurts my heart that I have

to leave, but eventually all birds have to leave the nest.

Excerpt from graduation speech, Class of 2014

Will it ever become easier not to miss the good times of

the past? No, it does not, but eventually you will find

that you are in a different place, a different time, and

you aren’t quite the same person as you were before.

And that’s okay, we all change, and we all will change

at some point in our lives. You must embrace this

change as it occurs, and change into a better

and greater person.
