Hendrickson High School
Message from Principal Grebb:
Robert E. Hendrickson would have turned 103 on Friday, February 2nd. On his birthday we are celebrating the school's 20th anniversary. Bob would have been proud of the amazing things that Hawk Nation has done over the past 20 years and the thousands of students who have graduated since 2006 that have gone on to make the world a better place.

Student IDs (MUST BE VISIBLE ALL DAY)
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,
