On 03/07/2023 Bubba Barraza participated in the Job Olympics at Kansas State University. He competed in vacuuming, sorting silverware, folding towels and washcloths, and sorting change. Bubba was even lucky enough to meet Willie the Wildcat! Bubba gave his best effort and we at HHS are super proud of his hard work!

On Friday second graders finished a fun Read Across America week by completing a Truffula Tree STEM project from Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. Students had to make the tree (pencil) stand by itself on the cardboard without touching it with their hands. They could only use paperclips and tape to secure the tree. It was a fun way to wrap up the week!! #GameOnRailers
Monday evening middle school student council members prepared and served a meal to the Herington Hearts program!
"This is National School Breakfast Week. We encourage students to stop in this morning and all week to grab a breakfast. It would be a great start to their day. Statistics show that students do much better concentrating in classes when they have eaten breakfast. Come join the Breakfast Club!!"

Herington High School February Student of the Month
Adrian Harrison
Adrian is the daughter of Chardy and Tony Magnett and Ryan and Stephanie Harrison.

Adrian is a sophomore at Herington, who involves herself in: Volleyball, Basketball, Track, Forensics, Scholars Bowl, FCCLA, FBLA, and S.A.L.T.
Mr. Hinkle believes Adrian received student of the month “because she is one of the best students to have in class. Not only is she engaged in her school work but she always puts a fun twist on her projects or assignments & truly enjoys her time here at HHS. Along with her exceptional school work, Adrian is just a charismatic student who knows no strangers and will always give a cheerful smile to anyone she meets. Adrian also represents HHS well in a variety of extracurriculars and represents HHS to the best of her ability every time.”
