New Student Registration

To enroll at Herndon High School, please call the Registrar at 703-810-2223 for an appointment. Please call as soon as you have moved into the area. We look forward to meeting you and your student(s). Please download much of the needed information by following the steps below.

Registration involves completing a number of forms. FCPS has simplified this by creating electronic form bundles. Most of the forms parents need to fill out are available online in bundles. Within a bundle, once you enter a parent's name, for example, that name appears automatically on every other form in the bundle. This makes completing forms much easier. Please click here for the bundle of forms commonly needed by students new to FCPS. Families who know they are moving into the Herndon area are encouraged to follow the steps below.
