Hendrickson High School
Message from Principal Grebb:
This nine weeks of the school year is one of the most difficult. Weather delays, sicknesses, hard to get out of bed when it's cold, seasonal depression, and lots of students getting pulled from classes for events. The list goes on and on. It is so important to take time over the weekend and reset and recharge. Keep checking in on your kids to make sure they are making it. This week we will welcome the 8th graders and hold our course fairs as we already start to gear up for the 2024-2025 school year. Please stop by the school Thursday night and check out all of the things that we offer, it's pretty amazing. Thursday night is also the opening of our musical "Into the Woods," it you have not seen one of our musicals I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

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,
