Henry County Schools launches ‘Walk and Talk’ with Superintendent Amy Blake Lewis
Summary
Henry County Public Schools kicked off a new community outreach series, “Walk and Talk,” with Superintendent Dr. Amy Blake Lewis. Lewis emphasized student-centered goals and community ties, saying she wants students to “experience happiness.”
Henry County Public Schools launched a new community-outreach series called “Walk and Talk,” opening with an on-camera conversation between Garrett Dillard, the district’s Director of Family and Community Partnerships, and Dr. Amy Blake Lewis, the district superintendent.
Lewis described the series’ aim as strengthening connections between the district and the wider community. “I I think just simply, I I hope they experience happiness,” Lewis said, adding that school should be “a fun place” where students enjoy learning rather than feel they must get through it.
Dillard introduced the new series as a way to let community members meet district stakeholders and to spotlight work happening in schools. The segment closed with Dillard and Lewis saying “Rise 2030” together, marking the first Walk and Talk session. Lewis also referenced “the class of ’27” as getting ready to graduate (the transcript does not specify the exact calendar year referenced).
