Herrin CUSD 4 Families: Herrin High School is currently on a lockdown out of an abundance of caution after possible gunshots were reported east of the school. All students and staff are safe. Police are on the scene investigating the situation. We will update you as soon as more information is available.

Dear Herrin CUSD #4 Families,
We're excited to announce a significant upgrade to our district's phone system, replacing the antiquated system that has been in place for several years. This modernization will improve communication and safety for our students, teachers, and staff, while also helping us connect with you more effectively
The installation of the new system is currently in progress, and we will begin transitioning to the new system over the next few days. We ask for your patience as our staff becomes familiar with the new equipment over the next couple of weeks. One possible issue during this time may be an occasional dropped call when transferring. If this occurs, please simply call back.
All district phone numbers will remain the same. We are confident this upgrade will make communication smoother and more efficient for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we make this much-needed improvement for our schools and families.
Sincerely,
Herrin CUSD #4 Administration
