Dateline

The Spring 2025 edition of the Herricks Dateline newsletter highlights our remarkable English Scholars Program, celebrates our new Center Street "Cub Cave," shines a light on three retiring administrators and shows how Herricks puts young voices front and center with the Student Advisory Group.

The Board of Education is pleased to present the proposed budget for the 2025-26 school year, which carries a tax levy increase of 2%. This is below the district’s allowable cap of 2.5% for the upcoming year. The proposal upholds the district’s tradition of fiscal responsibility – represented by a 10-year average tax levy increase of 1.64% – while also expanding opportunities for students.

The Winter 2025 issue of Herricks Dateline shines a light on the district's mental health and mindfulness initiatives, takes a look at some of our "Herricks Homegrown" alumni who are now staff and much more!  Look for your copy in your mailbox or download the digital version here.
