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
