We have a new parent page on our website! Our collection of resources is designed to empower you as a parent, helping you actively engage in your child's education. From educational tips to community connections, these tools will guide you in supporting your child's learning journey, staying informed about school activities, and fostering a strong partnership with educators. Information on how to find the page is below!



The window for gifted and talented testing opened on September 1st and will close on September 30th at 4pm. Any referral after that date will have to wait until the 2025 referral window. If a parent, guardian or community member would like to refer a student to be tested for GT, please reach out to that student's counselor before the end of the month. If you have questions about the program you can reach out to the Coordinator of Instruction, Rebecca Gerhardt.


Happy National Teach Ag Day! 🌱 Our Ag teachers at HISD are the best! Jessica Detten, Charissa Blasingame, and Wade Roberts go above and beyond to ensure our students are learning, growing, and creating incredible opportunities. Thank you for all you do! 👏 #HERDProud

Dear families,
We’re going to Dominican Republic in Summer 2026, and you’re invited!
We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://rsvp.eftours.com/uadfb3j
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.
In this info session, we’ll talk about:
How this opportunity will benefit your student
What we’ll see and do on our trip
Everything that’s included in this experience
How your child can earn academic credit
How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period
There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!
Please note: this is not a school sponsored trip


Happy Friday! 🎉 Reminder: there is an early dismissal today for all campuses due to tonight's football game against Estacado. 🏈 Check out the schedule below! ⬇️ #HerefordISD #GoHERD
