Mission Statement:  HES provides a safe, caring, learning environment in which students, parents, staff, and community are committed to academic, social, and personal responsibility.

Opening its doors in 1954, HES welcomed its first students.  Our school is a one level, Kindergarten - fifth, handicapped accessible brick building.  It is located on several acres of land with up-to-date playground equipment.  Bus service is provided district wide. 

Herington Elementary School is served by an excellent, caring faculty and staff.   Our school is served by one full-time principal, one half-time counselor, and one full-time secretary.   Herington Elementary School has a well equipped library and media center.   A music curriculum is provided to all students on a daily basis.  Physical Education classes are also offered on a daily basis to all students.  Instrumental band is offered for 5th grade students. 

We are also fortunate to have a computer lab which is equipped with 24 IBM compatible computers.  Each classroom has access to the lab for at least 1 hour per week.  All classrooms have been equipped with up to four computers and two printers.  The computers are networked to provide easy access to a variety of programs and options available through TEEN (Technology Excellence in Education Network).
