Hawk News 5/1/2026

Welcome to May and the last 14 days of school. We are done with STAAR EOC testing and now move into two weeks of Advanced Placement testing. I am so proud of how the students have showed up for testing ready to do their best. I have no doubt that the next two weeks will also reflex this attitude. This upcoming week is National Teacher Appreciation Week. The teaching staff at Hendrickson High School is the best hands down. The teachers at Hendrickson pour their heart and soul into their work and deserve more than a week, they need to be appreciate every single day. I hope you will take time to thank your teachers next week for their work and dedication to Hawk Nation. Let's keep on spiriting to the finish line.
