HENRY JOHNSON CHARTER SCHOOL

We Believe Scholars Can Achieve Academic Excellence While Developing Exceptional Character.

We embrace an educational philosophy of love and hard work coupled with a rigorous curriculum grounded in basic skills, outstanding literature, and moral virtues. HJCS provides a nurturing environment of high expectations and accountability that equips all scholars with the choice to determine their success in life.

Our Mission

The Mission of Henry Johnson Charter School is to ensure that all scholars reach the highest levels of scholastic achievement in an environment that instills character, virtue, and “habits of mind” that ensure success both within and outside the classroom: diligence, courage, respect, self-reliance, duty, and responsibility.

🎶🌟 Congratulat

Ready, set, GO! HJCS scholars took their talents to the track!

On June 2, 28 of our scholars proudly represented HJCS at the Just Run Track Meet, competing alongside students from schools across the Capital Region.

Our scholars demonstrated determination, sportsmanship, and school pride in their very first track meet experience.

A special thank you to Mr. Pruckno for organizing the team and helping prepare our scholars for this exciting event. We are incredibly proud of each participant for giving their best effort and representing our school with excellence!

Many thanks to the Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club for sponsoring this amazing event!
