New Attendance Office for 2009-2010

Herndon High School will be implementing a new Attendance Office for the 2009-2010 school year. Unlike in the past when students’ attendance procedures were handled through their Grade Level Offices, the new Attendance Office will help streamline procedures for students, parents and staff.

The Attendance Office is located in room 151, the first room on the left as you enter Herndon High School through Door 11.

ALL students must check in and check out through the attendance office.

Please call 703-810-2282 or 703-810-2283 to notify HHS in the event your student is absent or tardy.

Students need to bring in notes to the office if they need to check out early for appointments.

We are confident that our new Attendance Office will help to assist you and your student with any of their attendance related concerns.

HHS and Y.E.S. exchange student Bilal K. spoke at a recent luncheon honoring exchange student programs, along with Senator Lugar. Bilal has very specific requirements to fulfill (such as community service, etc.) in order to take part in this program. He is currently an active participant in drama, yearbook and ROTC to name a few.

Mr. Graney's Political Science students recently were the guests of Mostafa Rahmani PH.D, Director of the Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Fatemeh Mohammadi who arranged this meeting. Below are excerpts from a fascinating Q&A and a wonderful luncheon. See more photos and read all about it here.
