Welcome to Wednesday’s Success Spotlight, where we celebrate the academic achievements, awards, and milestones that make Herndon High School a place of excellence. Each week, we shine a light on the dedication and hard work of our students, teachers, and staff—because at Herndon, success isn’t just a goal; it’s our mission. All Hornets are capable of success. No exceptions! Whether it’s an academic breakthrough, a well-earned recognition, or the collective spirit that makes our community strong, we are proud to share and celebrate these moments with you.

Real Food for Kids Cooking Competition
Over the weekend, our talented students participated in the Real Food for Kids cooking competition on Saturday, March 10th, and emerged victorious! Our culinary team impressed the judges with a delicious menu featuring Gnocchi Stew, Garlic Bread sticks, and a fresh salad made with romaine lettuce, clementines, dried cranberries, and feta cheese, all topped with a delightful balsamic vinegar dressing. Their hard work, creativity, and culinary skills truly shone and brought home the win for Herndon High!
Be sure to keep an eye out later this week for their interview on NBC4, where they will share their experience and insights from the competition. Additionally, the winning menu will be featured as a school lunch in the near future—more details to come!
Congratulations to our amazing students- Winnie O’Hanlon, Clarissa Dante, Syeda Fazeen Rizvi and Sidney Ide for their dedication and success. Let's celebrate their achievement and continue to support their culinary journey.
French Student Virtually Visit the National Gallery of Art
Our French 5/AP students are diving into the world of French art with a virtual field trip to the National Gallery of Art! Through inquiry-based discussions, they're exploring the theme of Beauty and Art, as part of the AP French curriculum.
Student Peace Award
Clarissa Dantes was named Herndon High School's Student Peace Award winner. The Student Peace Awards of Fairfax County began in 2006 as a way to encourage people to think more about peace as both a means and an end, and to recognize young people who work as peacemakers. Every year, the high schools in Fairfax County are asked to select one junior or senior, or a group of students, whose work has promoted peace. The project is organized by volunteers and funded by donations from 15 secular and religious sponsoring organizations.
Clarissa Dantes joined with her friend Sidney Ide to establish the Asian American Club at Herndon High School to assist other students feeling alone and disconnected from their heritage. They meet regularly for activities that help them learn about the many different Asian cultures.
The club’s main goal is to provide opportunities for bonding, acceptance, and mutual support among Asian American students. The club has created a safe space where students can feel included and have positive, candid, and constructive conversations.
