Mental Health Is Key to a Well-Rounded Education

As mental health awareness grows, the Herricks Public Schools have been enhancing the curriculum with extensive social-emotional learning and mindfulness programs. This past summer, the New York State Education Department passed a law requiring schools to provide a mental health component within their educational programs, and Herricks is ahead of the curve in this area.

Capital Projects Update

The district has come a long way with regard to the 2016 bond referendum for capital improvements, and students and staff members are enjoying new and improved facilities. As highlights, the cafeteria remodel, finished for the start of school and the track and field, completed last spring, were celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during this year’s homecoming.

75 Years of Outstanding Music

The Herricks community came together to honor the 75th anniversary of the Herricks music department this past November, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Herricks Public Schools and Music Boosters. More than 1,100 guests and upwards of 350 student-musicians filed into Herricks High School for an evening gala that featured outstanding performances by students in kindergarten through grade 12.

Regeneron Finalist

Herricks High School senior Eish Maheshwari has been recognized as a Regeneron Science Talent Search finalist after being named a Scholar in the competition earlier in January. He will travel to Washington, D.C., from March 7-13 to present his work and vie for monetary awards.

Progress of Bond Projects Brings IMPROVED Facilities
The district has come a long  way with regard to the 2016 bond referendum for capital improvements, and students and staff members are enjoying new and improved facilities. As highlights, the cafeteria remodel was finished for the start of school and the track, field, bleachers and comfort station were celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during this year’s homecoming.

English Scholars Program - Cultivates Effective Writers and Creative Minds
Many programs make the Herricks Public Schools unique in their broad array of learning opportunities, and the English Scholars Program is among them. Offered at both Herricks Middle School and Herricks High School, this course simultaneously builds students up as writers and provides an outlet through which they can express themselves, with their intrinsic passions being the primary driving force.
