Herndon High School has created Hornet P.R.I.D.E. (Participation, Respect, Integrity, Diligence, and Empathy) to guide our expectations in our classrooms and in our community. Students will be taught lessons pertaining to Kids at Hope and what Herndon P.R.I.D.E. behaviors mean and what they look like in our school and in our community. Teachers will acknowledge students with tickets when students are displaying positive examples of Hornet P.R.I.D.E. and students will enter tickets into weekly drawings for incentives and prizes. A student teacher advisory committee will be formed so that students and teachers can work together and build positive meaningful relationships that support the entire Herndon community.
