He is a graduate of Bridge-water High School in Nova Scotia and the University of King’s College. After his ordination in the spring of 1941, he became the Rector of Georgetown parish, Prince Edward Island. In 1946, he came to the United States to become Director of Christian Education at the Church of St. John the Evangelist in St. Paul. He was made a Canon of St. Mark’s Cathedral in 1948 by Bishop Keeler. In the same year. Canon Henderson was appointed the Director of Christian Education for the Diocese of Minnesota. Six years later, on January I, 1953, he became Rector and Headmaster at Breck School. At that time, the campus was in St. Paul, and was partaking in a military program. Canon Henderson, sensing that improvement was needed, began a detailed plan to reshape Breck. The outcome of this foresight and initiative is today’s Breck, a modern school with up-to-date facilities and equally as modern ideals and goals. An ambitious man. Canon Henderson is always looking for ways to improve Breck. Such improvements have been the new Chapel of the Holy Spirit, which has become so integral a part of school life. In the future, there w ill be a new Math-Science building to provide for the expected increase in enrollment. Admired and respected by all. Canon Henderson is very close to the student body. The Mustang wishes him strength to carry out his many plans for a better Breck. 13
