The League of Women Voters of Henderson County will present “Meet The Superintendent”, a
program open to the public, on January 24th, 2023 from 5:30-6:30 pm at the Henderson
County Library Main Branch, located at 301 Washington Street, Hendersonville. The program
will feature Mr. Mark Garrett, who became the new superintendent of Henderson County Public
Schools in July, 2022. This program advances the League’s long and productive partnership with
the Henderson County Public Schools.
Prior to coming to Henderson County, Garrett was Superintendent of McDowell County Schools.
During his tenure there, McDowell experienced its highest graduation rates, lowest dropout rates,
and lowest teacher turnover rates in district history, and exceptional academic growth. Garrett is
the proud husband of Alison Garrett, and father of Tatum, Aubrey, and Luke. School Board
Chair Blair Craven said when Garrett arrived, “We welcome Mr. Garrett into the HCPS Family,
and are excited to see how his expertise in public K-12 leadership will continue strengthening
our already esteemed school communities. Garrett has said, “Working together, we will build on
the district’s tradition of excellence and propel HCPS to even greater heights by being student-
centered, mission driven, and future focused.”
