At HES, we will be:
Honorable in Character
Engaged in Learning, and
Successful each day!
Our theme for this school year is Leaders are Built Here. This theme encompasses our goal of becoming a Model STEM School of Distinction as well as a Leader in Me School.
Hendersonville Elementary School is proud to be recognized as a National Unified Champion School. We are so excited to be just 1 of 37 schools in the nation and the only school in NC to make the ESPN Honor Roll! A Unified Champion School receiving national banner recognition is one that provides an inclusive space for individuals with and without intellectual disabilities and has demonstrated commitment to inclusion by meeting 10 national standards of excellence. These standards were developed by a national panel of leaders from Special Olympics and the education community. Read more about our recognition on the HCPS website!

Hendersonville Elementary School earned an A+ grade for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years! We are the only school in Henderson County with that distinction. In 2017-2018, we were proud to have Exceeded Growth. HES is one of only four schools in the state of NC to be honored as a Lighthouse School in 2018.
In addition to receiving another A rating in 2018-2019, HES also Exceeded Growth! In fact, HES ranked 3rd out of the 2600+ schools in the state that Exceeded Growth and was 1 of only 12 schools that received both honors.
Go Cubcats!
Hendersonville Elementary School has earned a three-year continuation of the NC Department of Public Instruction’s prior designation as a Prepared STEM School of Distinction. We are the only elementary school in WNC to have achieved this honor!

Of the more than 2,500 public schools in North Carolina, 119 of them received a performance grade of A and exceeded academic growth expectations. Hendersonville Elementary School is proud to be one of those 119 high performing schools. WRAL has the full report.
Hendersonville Elementary has received recognition for being in the top 1% of Title I schools in North Carolina and as a 2019-20 National ESEA Distinguished School Nominee in the “high performance” category.
