Save Henderson Mill Elementary

What’s Happening

DeKalb County School District is recommending the closure of more than 20 schools across DeKalb County, including Henderson Mill Elementary.

Why Henderson Mill Elementary School is Special

Henderson Mill Elementary School is Georgia’s first STEAM-certified elementary school, offering hands-on, project-based learning to every student.

This Affects DeKalb County

This isn’t just about Henderson Mill. This SAP plan affects thousands of students across DeKalb County. 

Should major decisions affecting thousands of students move forward without basic impact studies, clear data transparency or consideration of alternatives to school closure?
