HENDERSON â The building that was once the home of Henderson High School and Henderson Middle School is set to become a major focal point for Vance County later this year with the introduction of the Center for Innovation.
Vance County Schools Superintendent Tony Jackson spearheaded the Center for Innovation and sees the project as a way to further galvanize the countyâs trajectory when it comes to education and investment into the community.
âI think the Center for Innovation is going to be an incubator for ideas, thought, growth, professional development and community engagement,â Jackson said. âFor us, I think this will serve as a hub to begin bringing our community together around those things that are possible for the future.â
