Good afternoon! Herington High School HOSA is hosting the third and final blood drive for this school year on Thursday, April 20th from 8:30 -2:30 p.m. Please consider donating - and to donate, please follow the registration link!
The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
Thank you for supporting the American Red Cross blood program!
Download the Red Cross Blood Donor App on the App Store, Google Play or text BLOODAPP to 90999. Schedule appointments, view your blood type and results of your mini-physical, and track your donations.

HHS Student of the Month - Aidan Thibodeau
Aidan is the son of Amy and Patrick Thibodeau.
Aidan believes he was chosen because “I’m pretty reliable and I’ve been working hard this past month to get everything done for HOSA and FBLA. I pretty much get along with everyone and always try to have a positive mindset. One thing I enjoy is being involved within the school and community and I try to help out however I can.”
Aidan is a sophomore at Herington, who involves himself in: HOSA, FBLA, Forensics, Scholars’ Bowl, Cheer, Class Officer and Drama.
Mrs. Beye believes Aidan received student of the month because “he goes the extra mile in the classroom and organizations to set himself apart from others. He spends the extra time that is needed to be great! Last summer when he placed at National FBLA Contest he spent countless hours to make that happen. Aidan also is very unselfish and is willing to help others around him become great as well!”
Congratulations, Aidan!
