In compliance with a new Texas law (HB 1481), Henderson ISD Trustees today approved a district-wide policy prohibiting student use of personal communication devices during the school day.

This includes cellphones, smartwatches, wireless earbuds, and similar devices. The law requires all Texas school districts to enforce this policy beginning with the 2025-26 school year.

Henderson ISD is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of two young lives in a car accident yesterday. Kyla Henderson, a 2020 graduate of Henderson High School, and Aubree Edney, who was preparing to begin sixth grade this fall, both passed away in the crash.

Our hearts are with the Henderson and Edney families, and with all who are grieving this heartbreaking loss. Kyla and Aubree will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved them.

Although our campuses are still on summer schedules, we recognize that this news may be difficult for many in our community and counseling services are available for both staff and students. We encourage anyone in need to reach out.

Please keep these families in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

🎉 Welcome to the neighborhood! This morning, we were proud to join in celebrating the ribbon cutting and blessing of the new CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Emergency Center in Henderson, just south of our Wylie campuses. It’s always exciting to see growth and new services coming to our community. Congratulations to the CHRISTUS team on their beautiful new facility! #HendersonISD #CommunityGrowth #RibbonCutting #HendersonTX
