Hendersonville Elementary School prides itself on ongoing Professional Development.  All teachers at our school participate in at least 30 hours of STEM-related PD. These PD hours include working with our vertical teams in order to make smooth transitions for our students and time spent meeting and planning with our community partners.  Teachers also attend PD through webinars that are presented through organizations such as NC Department of Public Instruction, NASA, NSTA, and Math Solutions.
