Voluntary PreK (VPK) is an income-based program, and the priority will be to families that qualify. Completing the Henderson County PreK application packet does not necessarily guarantee enrollment in the PreK program. Non-income eligible students are placed on a waiting list once all paperwork is complete. Once all qualifying students are placed, non-income eligible students will receive a notice informing them of their status after the beginning of school, per the VPK grant guidelines.

Mr. Danny Beecham, Director of Schools, proudly announces Dr. Janet Hays, as the Supervisor of the Year.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Janet Hays, and my life has been a wonderful journey of love, family, and a deep commitment to education. For the past 39 years, I've had the privilege of sharing my life with my wonderful husband, Zachary, raising two incredible children, Brittany and Andrew, and experiencing the unparalleled joy of being a grandmother to my precious granddaughter, Finley.
My educational journey began at Jackson State Community College and then finished (for now) at Freed Hardeman University, where I pursued my passion for learning and earned my Doctorate of Education. It was during those early years that I discovered my calling to make a positive impact on the lives of students. The knowledge and experiences gained at Jackson State and Freed Hardeman laid the foundation for a fulfilling career in education.
Currently, I proudly serve the Henderson County School District as the Supervisor of Instruction. This role allows me to contribute to the development and enhancement of educational programs, ensuring that every student has access to quality learning experiences. I am deeply invested in creating a supportive and inspiring environment for both educators and students, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
As I reflect on my journey, I am grateful for the opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to the world of education. The pursuit of knowledge and the desire to inspire others continue to drive my professional and personal life. I look forward to the chapters that lie ahead, filled with new opportunities to make a difference and leave a lasting legacy in the lives of those I have the privilege to touch through my work and personal relationships."

Mr. Danny Beecham, Director of Schools, proudly announces Steve Lindsey, Principal of Lexington High School, as the Principal of the Year.
"My name is Steve Lindsey, and it is a privilege and honor to be the Principal of Lexington High School. Lexington is my hometown, and I received my Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and Master’s in Administration and Supervision from the University of Tennessee at Martin. This will be my 35th year in education, and all but 4 of those years have been at my alma mater, LHS.
These past 35 years in education have allowed me to develop many relationships, whether with students or staff members, that I will cherish for the remainder of my career. Of those 35 years, I have experienced the role of classroom teacher, coach, Assistant Principal, Athletic Director, and Principal. Due to the commitment of our students and staff, Lexington High School has developed into a school that is known for its academic excellence, which I am very proud of. Over my tenure as Principal at Lexington High School, I have found competing in the classroom just as gratifying as competing on the athletic field.
I have been married for 17 years to my wife, Melissa. We have two children, Gretta and Whitney, and three grandchildren, Scarlett, Preston, and Cooper. If I could give one encouraging statement to everyone, it would be “Every day is a great day, some just a little better than others.” Thanks to all that have allowed me to have a successful career. Thank you."
