Both events will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the schools’ multipurpose rooms.
Superintendent Anthony Jackson will be sharing valuable information about our public schools and all 17 of our schools will have information tables with educators available to answer questions.
All Vance County residents are urged to attend at least one of these events and learn more about our local public schools.
Those who attend can learn about how students can apply to attend the Vance County Early College High School, located at Vance-Granville Community College, and the STEM Early High School, located at Southern Vance High School. Interested persons also can learn more about the STEAM Academy at the year-round E.M. Rollins Elementary School and opportunities for children in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes in all of our elementary schools. Our Advance Academy, located on Charles Street in Henderson, is providing educational opportunities for high school students who are behind academically to assist them in completing their high school careers. The Vance Medical Academy and Fire and Public Safety Academy, both located at Southern Vance, are providing excellent training for students who want to pursue careers in these areas.
Representatives from these schools will be on hand to share information.

/by John C. RoseThe following from the City of Henderson, NC:
Loose leaf collection will begin the week of October 23rd, 2017 and will end Mid-January. This involves the use of a vacuum machine and trucks. Therefore, it is essential that leaves be free of rocks, trash and limbs so that the equipment is not damaged. You may continue to bag the leaves or place in a container, however it is not required until the loose leaf pickup season is over.
LOOSE LEAVES – All leaves must be raked behind the curb (not into storm drains, ditches or gutters on the street).
BAGGED LEAVES – All leaves must be in CLEAR plastic bags and weigh less than 50 lbs. per bag. Bags must be left at the curb. Do not put in street or gutters and ditches.
Make certain that no leaves are left on top of your water meter. Leaves will generally be picked up on a two or three week rotation. However, this is dependent on weather conditions and leaf accumulation. If you have any questions, contact the Public Services Department at 252-431-6115 or 252-431-6118. Also, please keep in mind after January 19, 2018 if leaves are not bagged, there will be a $75.00 charge.
