Herrin Junior High School

Our 7th and 8th graders explored the heartbeat of healthcare careers at the Southern Illinois Healthcare Career Fair Expo! 🩺

This event opened their eyes to a wide range of career possibilities, helping them discover new interests and explore the many paths that lie ahead. Filled with hands-on demonstrations and opportunities to engage with medical professionals from various fields, the students gained valuable insights into what it takes to succeed in different careers.

Career fairs like this are incredibly important for students – sparking curiosity, inspiring future ambitions, and showcasing the many paths they can take as they continue their education. We’re so proud of our students for their enthusiasm and thoughtful questions, and we can’t wait to see how they apply what they learned to their own journeys!

🍂 Fall Break is almost here! Herrin CUSD #4 schools will be closed October 13 – 17.

⚠️ Warning: Attending may cause excessive fall fun.

But really, we can't wait to see you THIS SATURDAY! Movies on the field, Bonfire, Hayrides, Inflatables, Face Painting, and more! Tell your friends — everyone's welcome.

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
