According to Parkview’s Facebook page, Henson was inducted into the Georgia Track & Field/Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame in 2025.
“Being recognized with the group this year and all those before us is probably one of the most emotional moments in my career. Thank you to all who have been a part of my path—I am forever grateful to all of you,” Henson wrote at the time on his own Facebook page.
The Gwinnett Daily Post also reported that Henson was named track and field coach of the year in 2023.
Channel 2 Action News has reached out to the Gwinnett County School District for comment on this story. We are waiting to hear back.
Henson remains in the Gwinnett County Jail on a $11,200 bond.
