A board statement said Dr. Henson will serve in an advisory role to the Board and the newly hired Superintendent through the 2025-26 school year, supporting a seamless transition of leadership.
'It has been an honor to serve the Marlin community as their Superintendent and I'm proud of what we've accomplished together,' Dr. Henson said. 'Marlin ISD is on a strong path forward and I look forward to watching the district continue to thrive.'
'Dr. Henson`s dedication has revived our schools, energized our community, and positioned us for sustained success,' said Marlin ISD Board President Billy Johnson. 'We thank him for his service to our students, faculty, and community.'
