Railers, here is a great opportunity if you want to take an EMT course. Please see the flyers. The cost for high school students is only any fees and textbooks required. This is a 12 credit hour course and is greatly reduced for high school students. Any non-high school students can take advantage of this as well since it is Kansas Promise Act eligible.

Cheyenne Purkeypyle and Adrian Harrison are spending the week at ESU for the Kansas Future Teacher Academy. They are representing Herington High School among the over 100 participants for this summer’s camp! Have fun girls! #railerproud

With tomorrow being the last day of football camp, the whole team will not be doing our normal camp from 8-10 AM.

HES had a busy week in summer school last week! Ms. Paula showed summer school students how to make soap out of goat's milk. Students each got their own bar and could stamp it with a design. Miss Susan shared a book and showed students how to make dream boards. Finally the K-State Extension office came and showed students how to create their own ovens using aluminum foil and card board boxes. Students then got to melt their own smores!
