Welcome, Coach Henderson!!!
We are excited to announce Peyton Henderson as a new Teacher and Assistant Football Coach. Peyton graduated from Arkansas Tech University in the spring of 2025 with a degree in Social Studies Education and is currently pursuing his master's degree in Higher Education and Student Affairs. A dedicated student-athlete, he also played for the Wonderboys football team for five years.
While this will be his first full-time professional role, Peyton brings valuable hands-on experience to the position. He completed his teaching internship at Russellville Junior High School and has served as both a Graduate Assistant for the Department of Higher Education and Student Affairs—where he taught freshman orientation classes—and as an Assistant Offensive Line Graduate Assistant for the Arkansas Tech football team.
Originally from Springdale, Arkansas, Peyton grew up in a hardworking family alongside his parents, Shane and Kesha Wilson, and his younger brother, Re*****on. Outside of his professional life, he is an active community volunteer through his church and outreach programs. In his free time, he enjoys working out, hunting, fishing, playing sports, reading, hiking, and spending quality time with his family.
Peyton is excited to join Gentry Public Schools, a community that deeply values student growth. As a teacher and football coach, he looks forward to building strong relationships, supporting students in the classroom, and helping athletes develop into disciplined, hardworking individuals.
