Hello Parents and Guardians of Herndon Magnet School Students, this is Tom Thomas, Principal of Herndon Magnet School with Herndon Highlights for the week of May 23, 2022.
Tomorrow, students may wear hats, and they will also be receiving a popsicle. The hat day and popsicle are rewards for meeting goals for the PTSA Boosterthon.
Students who purchased a yearbook will receive it tomorrow. The yearbook/newspaper staff, under the direction of Mrs. Katie Barr, put together an awesome yearbook. Any current 6th or 7th grader interested in taking the yearbook/newspaper class, must fill out an application. Applications are available on the Herndon website.

Please try to limit your student’s commencement guests to four.

There are changes in the 2022-2023 Herndon Uniform Policy. The policy will be posted on the Herndon website soon. Please review it carefully before you purchase uniforms.
We are now using Herndon’s new website at https://herndonmagnet.caddoschools.org.
Since this is my last official JCall for the 2021-2022 school year, I want to say what a pleasure it is serving as the principal of Herndon Magnet School. Truly, we have the best students, parents/guardians, and faculty/staff in Caddo Parish. I hope that you have a safe and happy summer break, and that the 8th graders leaving Herndon will have an awesome high school experience.
Thank you and have a wonderful evening! ID# 986659
