Week of March 24th - Activities at Herington Schools
HHS Speech and Drama traveled to Marion to compete on Thursday. The places are pictured below.
Overall the team took 3rd place! 🥉 🎭
Good luck to our Archery Team at their home meet today.
Henry, Ethan, and Isabelle went to the Congressional Debate National Qualifier yesterday. Competing against dozens of bright students from West KS schools, Henry received 11th Place in the House, Ethan 13th in the Senate, and Isabelle 15th in the Senate. While these places don’t qualify for the national tournament it is possible that others defer later on and they get a chance to go. Great job, we are proud of you for trying something new!
Congratulations to our middle school wrestlers for a successful season. They ended their season at the Chase County Meet. Those placing were:
Braxton Pigorsch 2nd Place
Jocelyn Lawrenz 1st Place
Aiden Shields 2nd Place
Landen Spence 4th Place
Isaac Macias 1st Place
Tyson Schlesener 2nd Place
Malakai Stroda 4th Place

Students from the Junior and Senior classes spent some of their advisory time on Wednesday's to learn how to dance in preparation for prom. They learned the two-step and swing dance, and they were able to teach each other along the way. It was a blast for both students and teachers.
