LeeAnn Henshaw My name is LeeAnn Henshaw. I am a 16 year resident of White House. I have been married for 25 years and have 2 grown children and 1 grandson. Before spending 4 years working as office manager for a Nationwide insurance agency in Rivergate, I was the assistant director and the teacher of the 4 year old class at Quail Ridge Children’s Center in White House. This will be my fifth year with WHCA. I have found WHCA to be a wonderful environment for the children to thrive and grow. I am looking forward to the coming year. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to help, love, and develop these young children into what God wants them to become.
I grew up in Hindsboro, IL, in a small farming community. I am the youngest of three children. Both my older brother and sister are also teachers. Now, both live back in Illinois with their spouses. My dad is a farmer and my mom works in the laboratory at the nearest hospital. I really enjoyed living in the country growing up. I enjoy sports and outside activities. I ran cross-country for Freed-Hardeman and participated in multiple sports when I was in high school. I will also be coaching the WHCA Cross Country and Junior High Girls' Basketball teams this year. This is my first year to have my own classroom. I am very excited that I can share my new adventure with you and your child. I hope that we can share my new adventure with you and your child. I hope that we can work together as a team to provide the best education for your child in a Christian environment. |
