Hendrickson High School
Message from Principal Grebb:
It was great to see the kids show up this week after the break and ready to get at it. After reviewing the 1st-semester data we are also proud of the attendance, I am glad that students are showing up every day this is key to success at Hendrickson High School. Congratulations to Waleed Haider he was crowned UIL 5A State Champion in Congressional Debate. He is the 8th State Champion in Hendrickson Speech and Debate History. We also celebrated all of the AP Scholars this morning and it was great to see all these academic champions. Enjoy the 3 day weekend and check for updates on the weather.

Student IDs (DON"T FORGET)
Every student at Hendrickson High School now has a school ID. School IDs are to be worn by the student when at school. Students will be reminded to wear IDs every day. When we return after the winter break students who forget their ID will be given a sticker to wear for the day after we confirm that they are a Hendrickson student. Each time that this happens a student will receive a strike. If a student receives 5 strikes they will be assigned Saturday School. Please remind your child to wear their ID every day. Thanks,
