🎉 Happy Juneteenth from Henry Johnson Charter School! 🖤💚❤️
Today, we celebrate Juneteenth — a special day in American history that reminds us how important freedom, fairness, and kindness are for everyone.
On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned they were free — more than two years after slavery had officially ended. Juneteenth is a time to honor courage, hope, and the power of community.
At HJCS, we are proud to teach our students about respect, inclusion, and the importance of standing up for what’s right — every day.
Let’s keep learning, growing, and celebrating freedom together! 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less

The Henry Johnson Charter School (HJCS) stands in steadfast support of the renaming of Fort Polk to Fort Johnson, honoring the legacy of Sergeant Henry Johnson, a distinguished World War I hero from our community.
Sergeant Johnson's extraordinary courage and selflessness during the war exemplify the highest ideals of service and sacrifice. His actions, including single-handedly repelling a German attack, saved the lives of his comrades and earned him the Croix de Guerre. Despite facing racial prejudice and being denied recognition for decades, his heroism was eventually acknowledged with the Medal of Honor in 2015, a testament to his unwavering dedication and valor.
The decision to rename Fort Polk to Fort Johnson is a significant step in rectifying historical injustices and ensuring that the contributions of all service members are recognized, regardless of race. This change not only honors Sergeant Johnson's legacy but also serves as an enduring symbol of the values we strive to instill in our students: diligence, courage, respect, self-reliance, duty, and responsibility.
At HJCS, we are committed to educating our students about the rich and diverse history of our nation. The story of Sergeant Henry Johnson provides a powerful example of resilience and patriotism that will inspire future generations.
We commend the efforts of all those who advocated for this renaming and reaffirm our dedication to fostering an inclusive and respectful community where the contributions of all individuals are celebrated. ... See MoreSee Less
