Welcome

Fall 2025

Dear Henderson Collegiate Community,

We are thrilled to share Henderson Collegiate’s outstanding results from the 2024–2025 school year, recently published by NCDPI in September 2025. These include student performance on end-of-grade and end-of-course assessments, academic growth, School Performance Grades, and more.

These results reflect not only the incredible effort of our students and the dedication of our staff, but also the commitment of families and community partners who believe—like we do—that a child’s circumstance should never determine their destiny. With the right support and opportunities, every child can rise, achieve, and lead.

At Henderson Collegiate, we know that academic success is built on a foundation of character. Our students are developing grit, integrity, and determination—the traits that prepare them to lead lives of purpose. As those qualities take root, they fuel a rigorous pursuit of knowledge and skill. From there, the love of learning opens doors not only to college but to a future where our young people are equipped to shape and change the world.

This year, we are proud to share that Henderson Collegiate:

  • Earned a composite score of 82% (B)

  • Outperformed 91.3% of all NC public schools in School Performance Grade

  • Outperformed 97.9% of all NC public schools in Academic Growth

  • Scored higher than 92% of all NC public schools in Academic Proficiency

  • Scored higher than 84.1% of all NC public schools in College and Career Readiness

  • Outperformed the state in every subject area and grade level

  • Met all State and Federal targets (AMOs)

  • Nominated as Top 10 by NCDPI for National ESEA Distinguished Schools Award in Category 3 – Schools That Show Excellence In Serving Special Populations Of Students (SWD)

These results place Henderson Collegiate among the very top schools in North Carolina, but more importantly, they demonstrate what is possible when children are given the tools, guidance, and belief they deserve. The world is changing rapidly, and we are excited to see how our students—armed with character, skills, and a lifelong love of learning—will be ready not only to keep up with it but to change it for the better.

Thank you for standing with us. The strength of our Pride is unmatched, and the best is yet to come.

With Pride from Co-Founders,

Eric E. Sanchez, CEO
Carice Sanchez, Chief Academic Officer
