Meet The Teacher

Hello, I am Mrs. Volante Henderson and I am part of the Fantastic Fourth grade Dream Team. I am honored and excited to teach your child in the areas of Science and Social Studies. My homeroom is home to Henderson’s Heroes.

This is my fourth year at A. Dorothy Hains Magnet school. My teaching experience consists of teaching collegiate level studies, ESL to Chinese students and 20 years of Human Resources training and instruction.

I began my undergraduate education at Lincoln University in PA and completed my degree in Criminal Justice from Phoenix University. I also hold a Masters of Arts degree in Management and Leadership.

I look forward to collaborating with anyone invested in our students' academic success (parents, guardians, communities and other educators). In my classroom, we will stress excellent manners and conduct. Together we can equip our young people with good character, citizenship principles, social emotional awareness and great self-esteem. My main teaching philosophy is that you can learn something new every day!

With this being a year where we hope to not have so many teaching challenges, we still "think outside of the box". We still take precautions in our classroom. We clean, clean, clean, distance as much as possible and masks are optional!  I believe in partnership and collaboration. Together we can and will make this a fantastic learning experience for our students, but it will take "the village"!
