Welcome to the Herndon Middle School PTA website!  The PTA is focused on helping to "Build Community" at Herndon Middle School (HMS) this year. We have an incredible Principal, Mrs. Justine Klena, who, along with the support of an amazing administration team and faculty, is motivated to do everything she can to make HMS a great environment for our children.  Our goal at the PTA is to come along side Mrs. Klena and her team and support them in any way that we can.

HMS vs LANGSTON HUGHES BASKETBALL GAME

The annual basketball game against the Langston Hughes Panthers was a huge success. We are proud of our players and performers!  A big Thank You to all of the volunteers who helped make the event run smoothly.  A special thanks to Gina Gallagher and Liz Rearden who organized the volunteers and concessions.  Thank you to all the families who came out to support our school and the game.  We hope to have more social events like this in the future.

HMS HAITI RELIEF EFFORT

HMS is working to collect donations for the Haiti Relief Effort.  A team of faculty and students plan to set out canisters at local businesses to collect money that will be donated to the American Red Cross.  If your child is interested in working on this team or if you have any questions, please contact Julia Smart at jmsmart@fcps.edu.
