We are truly overwhelmed by the generosity of our community! So many people have reached out to donate lawn mowers for our Ag Mechanics class that we’ve actually run out of space in the shop.
Your support means the world to our students, and we are so grateful to everyone who offered to help. 💡🔧💪
Herington really does take care of its kids—thank you for investing in their learning and future!

✨ Huge thanks to Holm Automotive for their generous $350 donation to the HHS Science Department! ✨
Their support is helping us purchase a document/microscope camera, giving our students even more opportunities to explore, learn, and discover in the classroom.
We’re so grateful for community partners like Holm Automotive who invest in the future of our Railers! 🚂📚🔬
📣 Mini Cheer Camp Update! 📣
We’re excited to announce that kindergartners can now join our Mini Cheer Camp along with 1st–5th graders! 🙌✨

Do you have an old push lawn mower sitting around collecting dust? Our Herington High School Ag Mechanics students would love to put it to good use!
We are looking for donations of old or non-working push lawn mowers so our students can learn valuable hands-on skills with small engines. These mowers don’t need to run—we just need them for practice, repair, and learning opportunities.
If you’d like to donate, please contact the HHS Office at 785-258-2261 or email at kgordon@usd487.org. Your donation will directly help our students gain real-world experience and prepare them for future careers!
Thank you for supporting our kids and their learning! 💡🔧💪

Parents of students in the Class of 2026, here is a link that will help you and your student complete the FAFSA application. https://studentaid.gov/articles/fafsa-for-parents/ In the lower right hand corner of the FAFSA website, you will see a help box. I have used it and it works really well with getting answers if you type in a question that you may have.
