They are chock-full of historic photos and information about the staff and the school itself. Created by the Henderson Mill Elementary PTA groups of the day. Follow the link to make an appointment to come see them in person! These photos come from the 1965 scrapbook. https://dekalbhistory.org/dekalb-county-archives-research/contact-dhc-archives/
