We asked Mr.Henry about what he was going to do after he left White City Schools, Mr. Henry said that he was going to “Play some golf. Probably work somewhere outside the education field”. We also asked him what he was going to miss after he left. He said, “ Mostly interacting with the kids and faculty. Coaching is why l went into teaching so l will miss coaching the players in all sports.”
Next, we asked Mr.Henry if he would ever come back and see the students. He answered “Yes. On a big game night”
Finally we asked Mr. Henry about his favorite memory. His final answer was “Both in coaching. District championship in Football and undefeated JH girls basketball season this year.”
Mr. Henry was given a send off by the administration and staff after school on May 13th, 2026.
White City will miss you so much. Enjoy your retirement, Mr. Henry!
