Herricks High School

Herricks is a four-year, comprehensive high school accredited by the New York State Board of Regents and the Middle States Association. The student body is highly competitive, dynamic, and multicultural. Herrick's families share diverse backgrounds and personal histories. Some have been in the district for generations, while others have only recently immigrated to the United States. Forty-six different languages are spoken by our students, and the majority of our students come from homes where English is not the primary language. All five ethnic groups comprise the cultural quilt that is Herricks. Cultural diversity enriches our school community, educational environment, and extracurricular programs. Whatever their stories, the Herricks families are bonded by their commitment to the education of their children. In fact, many families have made impressive sacrifices to invest in the education of their children. There is great emphasis on preparation for higher education and on sustaining excellent educational programs and services.
