So proud of our counselor Ms. Myers for representing Herndon and RCISD at Region 10 to share her work with Green Spots! 💚 Green Spots give students a safe space to reset & self-regulate—reflecting our mission as a Capturing Kids' Hearts Showcase Campus.#experienceRCISD

Down the rabbit hole we go! 🐇🫖✨ My Herndon team understood the assignment! A little magic, a lot of creativity, and the best team around! Welcome to our Wonderland! 💜🦋 #HerndonHeroes #GrowAndFly

When I say we’re ALL IN for student success, I mean EVERYONE! 💪🏽📚 Our librarian is using Math Stackers to support our math goals. From K–5th, every Hero plays a part in helping our students grow! 🦋💛 #HerndonHeroes #GrowAndFly #experienceRCISD

Who says learning stops when it’s time for lunch? 🧠🍎 Our Herndon Heroes are feeding their minds while they eat! From fun trivia questions to friendly competition, we’re building knowledge, critical thinking, and school spirit one lunch period at a time. 💙🦋 #StudentSuccess
