Hello seniors! It is time to brag!! We need you to send us any and all scholarships that you have received. That includes offers and awards to schools that you are not going to attend but were accepted to. You should be able to print these off from the awards letter the schools sent you. Please bring them to School Counseling or email them to Mrs. Ferrell at ksferrell@henrico.k12.va.us 

We need all this information to announce at graduation on June 14!

Graduation Practice

Students participating in the graduation ceremony MUST attend the MANDATORY practice on Monday, June 13th at 9:30 A.M. We will run through the entire ceremony (for the most part).  After rehearsal, students will receive graduation tickets (10), a parking pass, and their tassels. All fees must be paid in order to participate in graduation.

Every human being entering the Siegel Center must have a ticket (including babies). If a student needs more than 10 tickets for graduation, s/he must ask their peers.  Hermitage High School cannot offer more than 10 tickets per student.  Also, note that tickets will be scanned at the Siegel Center.  If anyone makes a duplicate ticket, the first ticket scanned will be the person who is able to enter the Siegel Center.  Graduates DO NOT need a ticket.

Parking passes will be available for purchase if families need more than one pass.  Parking passes are $7 and will be available for purchase from Monday, June 6th through Friday, June 10th.  Please be prepared to either pay with a card or cash.  We will take payments in the front office at Hermitage High School.
