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

NORLINA â A federal judge has sent a man from Norlina to prison for nine years on drug and weapons charges.
William Leon Mayfield, 60, received the sentence Monday, about 5½ months after pleading guilty to charges of possessing crack, cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute, maintaining a dwelling to manufacture, distribute or use drugs, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Also known as âMoon,â Mayfield sold crack from his home to a Warren County Sheriffâs Office informant several times. The sheriffâs office obtained and served a search warrant for the home in June 2018, deputies finding drugs along with a loaded gun and some U.S. currency.
