Carol Henderson 

Currey Ingram Academy co-founder Carol Henderson died on July 30 at the age of 92.

Henderson, alongside her husband Bobby, founded the school, originally named Westminster School of Nashville (WSN), in 1968. The school moved from its original location on West End in Nashville to its current location on Murray Lane in Brentwood in 2002.

The Hendersons found the school, which includes pre-kindergarten through high school, to help students with "learning differences that show variations in the way the brain processes information and thinking." 

The founding of the school was inspired by the Hendersons' son, Britt. The two remained involved with the school after its move to Brentwood, and the Henderson Memorial Bridge was named in her honor. 

"Currey Ingram Academy was founded due to Carol Henderson's determination in the pursuit of a fair, just, and deserved education for her child," Currey Ingram Head of School Dr. Jeff Mitchell said in a release. "Her legacy lives on in the thousands of students who have followed."
