From the PTSA

Scholarship Opportunity

The PTSA is proud to offer two $1,000 scholarships for graduating seniors. For the application and details, visit Naviance, College Tab, Scholarship Search. Questions?  Email herndonptsa@gmail.com.


From the Library 

As the observance of Ramadan begins this week, the library will be an alternate location for students who are fasting and prefer not to be in the cafeteria for their lunch period. Fasting students who do not already have a permanent lunch pass to the library can talk with the library staff about a temporary pass for their planner.

Spring break is approaching quickly. Encourage your student to have plenty of great reading on hand. Books checked out now are not due until after spring break. In addition to physical books, we offer ebooks and e-audiobooks that your student can enjoy on a personal device. We’ve got something for everyone!

Are your students conducting research in their classes? Please remind your students that there are fantastic research supports available through their HHS Library course on Schoology. They can always reach us at hhs_library@fcps.edu to schedule one-on-one support.
