Announcing May 9th as CK Day! Join us in honoring the life and legacy of Chance Karnes, a proud Herrin High School Class of 2022 graduate, beloved son of former HHS Football Coach Jason Karnes and Herrin Elementary School Teacher Brandi Karnes. Chance's life was tragically cut short in an accident caused by another driver failing to stop at a stop sign. CK Day is our way of keeping Chance's memory alive while giving back to future HHS graduates. This special day serves as a fundraiser for the Chance Karnes "Cowboys & Quarterbacks" Memorial Scholarship Fund, supporting Herrin seniors as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives. Let's come together to celebrate Chance's impact and ensure his legacy continues to inspire future generations. #CKDay #HerrinStrong
Here's how HJHS will support CK Day (May 9th) for HHS Scholarships: Donate $1 or more to wear a hat on Friday, May 9th. Wear CK apparel or dress like a Cowboy/Cowgirl or a Football Player. The class that raises the most money will get 1 hour of cell phone use from 2:00-3:00 in our NEW cafeteria! (The winning class must raise a minimum of $100 to win the cell phone prize.) WEB Leaders will be around to enrichment classes starting May 6th to collect the money.

Dear Parent/guardians,
The Illinois Department of Public Health mandates that children at a specific age and grade levels receive vision and hearing screening from a certified technician or nurse. The children in these categories are required by law to be screened: Pre-K through 3rd grade, 8th grade, students new to the district, students specifically referred by a teacher, and students receiving special education services. HJHS will be providing vision and hearing screening services for those specified students. These screenings will be performed at the school beginning next week. If the screening technician determines that your child may have a vision or hearing problem that needs further evaluation, you will receive a notification letter in the mail regarding the next steps and recommendations. If you do not want your student screened due to a Religious Objection, please send a signed letter stating this to the school with your student on Monday November 18th.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the school nurse at 618-942-5603.
HJHS will dismiss at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4th for the HHS Homecoming Parade. Spirit week starts tomorrow!
Our very own Huntar Lee (of North Side Primary) and Anthony Cawthon (of Herrin Junior High) have been chosen as recipients of the 2024-2025 School-Based Mental Health Training and Support Program! This grant, awarded in partnership with Dr. Matt Buckman and Dr. Martha Weld from the Stress and Trauma Treatment Center, will afford Lee and Cawthon the opportunity to earn their PEL licensure as well as mentorships through Dr. Buckman's organization. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to our program!
HJHS will have picture retakes on Sept. 9th. Also, students and staff who didn't get pictures made at registration will get pictures made.
Dental Safari is coming to HJHS on Sept. 18th. Please register online if you would like your child to see the dentist.
HJHS has two morning student drop off spots. One is on the corner of 14th & Ash and the other is 14th & Stotlar. Please follow the traffic pattern as outlined in the diagram. Look for the orange highlighted X. Students can be dropped off beginning at 7:30 a.m. Please be patient the first few days as new families adjust to the procedure.
For afternoon pickup, arrange a designated parking lot with your student (North or East Lot) or street parking spot away from the construction and bus loading zone for your student to come to you.
