Kansas Crime Stoppers Scholarship
The Sophomore class took a field trip to Tabor College today. They had a campus tour, did a personality and career inventory assessment, participated in an activity with students from Hillsboro High School, and met with current Tabor students. They represented Herington High School very well today!
HHS January Student of the Month - Madi Becker
Madi Becker is the daughter of Toby and Natasha Becker.
Madi believes she was chosen because “I represent Herington and Herington High School in a positive way. I involve myself in extracurricular activities and work hard to be at my best.”
Madi is a senior at Herington High School, who involves herself in: Volleyball, Basketball, Track, Dance Team, Drama, Forensics, FBLA, FCCLA, HOSA, NHS, SALT and Band .
Mr. Hirsch believes Madi was chosen for Student of the Month “because she is an incredibly hard worker. She puts her whole heart into things, even when she has no energy left. Her one flaw is she cares too much. She is a fantastic example for the underclassmen. ”
Congratulations, Madi!
Junior class will be hosting a lunch on Sunday from 11-1… please come and support our kids.
Please see the list of Herington Middle School's upcoming events and important dates. Dates and times can change and will be updated on the schools website, heringtonschools.org, and the Herington USD 487 Facebook page.

First graders in Ms. Fegan's MTSS Math group have been working with shapes and decided to take on a challenge. First, they researched different towers, and then used craft materials to build their own towers. They used cones, cylinders, and rectangular prisms as the inspiration for their tower shapes. #backontrack
