Hendersonville High School will look a lot different after June 30th when current school principal - for the past 22 years - "hangs it up" at 65 years old. Wilkins will then, no longer be a fixture at the school as he has been....and totally involved in education for the past 44 years.
Wilkins was hired by former principal, Tom Wilson, immediately upon Wilkins graduation from UNC-A in Asheville.
Wilkins hesitated briefly when offered a teaching position at HHS since his strong math skills was pullin him in a computer-science direction.
Good for Wilkins and Hendersonville High that Wilkins accepted the teaching job which had him coaching boys and girls basketball and football, along with girls track during his time at HHS.
His last 'official' duties will be at the move-up "Red and White" Assembly on June 9th....and he will 'go out the door' with haste on June 30th to pursue other interests, yet to be defined.
