TISD Recognizes Anniversary of Teacher’s Death

TYLER — Thursday marked the one year anniversary of the death of John Tyler teacher Todd Henry. The John Tyler campus began the day with a moment of silence in memory. In a statement, TISD says, “As we remember the one year anniversary of his death, we focus on how the Tyler ISD family – students and staff members throughout the District, as well as the surrounding community, pulled together to support one another during a tragic moment. Through the inspiration of Mr. Henry who himself entered education to reach our youth and positively impact their lives – we continue to encourage our students with hope and promise of their accomplishments to come.” A special moment will be set aside at the John Tyler High School football game on Friday, to remember Mr. Henry.

A teen accused in the attack on the special education teacher remains in custody. The boy was 16 last September when authorities say he stabbed Henry.
