HERNDON BUILT THE TRADITION. NOW LET'S BUILD THE FUTURE!

Homecoming at Herndon is the best kind of good old-fashioned community spirit. This Homecoming, October 24, we're challenging our community to give back to the high school that has given so much. Our aging scoreboard and failing audio system are long overdue for replacement. Our student-athletes deserve better, and together, we can make it happen!

 

OUR GOAL: $30,000. AND YOUR DONATION WILL BE DOUBLED!

The Herndon Sports Boosters will match every dollar donated, up to $30,000 in matching funds. If you've ever thought about supporting Herndon athletics, NOW is the time! 

CLICK HERE TO DONATE NOW: https://www.herndonsportsboosters.org/elevate-the-nest

 

Let's show everyone what Hornet Pride can accomplish!

Reminders



Varsity Football Games *Weapons Screening 

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is taking additional steps this year to help ensure that our athletic events remain safe for students, families, staff, and community members by introducing  security screenings of all spectators at our varsity football games.

We will be using the existing weapons screening systems that our students pass through every morning in our schools. In addition, we will be implementing a standardized bag policy to help support a smooth and efficient entry process. Students, family members, and all spectators are reminded that the following items are prohibited:

  • Backpacks
  • Purse
  • Fanny pack
  • Tote bags
  • Outside food and beverage
  • Sporting equipment (balls, bats, sticks, etc.)
  • Any item prohibited by FCPS policy, or determined by event staff to present safety concerns

Approved bags are limited to:

  • Clear plastic, vinyl, or pvc bags no larger than 12”6”x12”
  • Small clutch bag no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”
  • Medical and diaper bags permitted but subject to inspection

As a reminder, middle-school students and younger, must be accompanied by a responsible adult who remains with the student(s) at the event.
