Hermon High School

Attention Hermon Community: We are preparing for our 2nd annual HHS Golf Scramble Championship. Last year's event was a huge success, raising over $16,000 for the class of 2024. This year, the event will benefit the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes at Hermon High School. On August 27th of this summer, we will be hosting our Golf Scramble at Hermon Meadows Golf Course. We are looking for local businesses and individuals to help sponsor the event, or donate goods and services to be raffled off during our silent auction. If you have any interest, please contact Matt Murray at matthew.murray@schools.hermon.net or by phone at (207)848-4000 ext. 1109. Go Hawks!

WINTER CARNIVAL It's February, two weeks to go until the winter vacation. Hermon High School traditionally celebrates Winter Carnival in the week before vacation. With input from the student body, Student Council has (again) chosen a "This or That" theme for the week, with options for dress-up for each day that reflect opposites. (Check out the flier.) Winter Carnival also means class royalty and class banners. (Listen for announcements.) Students should also look for trivia questions each day tied to that day's theme. Trivia questions will arrive in student e-mails via Google forms. While we can't hold a school-wide assembly, we can have an activities period on Friday, with a wide variety of games and activities. A list of activities will be posted in time for students to sign up for their favorites. It's better than what we had in 2022, and still leaves room to improve and expand to reach the heights of our last real Winter Carnival, back in pre-pandemic times.
