Sunday, March 15, 2020 The state of Arkansas has ordered that the district close for the education of our students in our buildings.

During this closure by the state of Arkansas, there will be NO extra-curricular activities, including athletic practices. Buildings and facilities belonging to the Hermitage School District are closed to all guests until further notice.

Effective during the 2019-2020 school year, all bags carried during the school day at Hermitage High School (grades 7-12) must be made of mesh, see-through material. Athletic bags that are not mesh must be left in vehicles or brought to the office before school starts.

Last week, Hermitage FFA students attended Livestock Judging Camp at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Some HHS students received recognition for their performance: Braden Harrod (1st High Advanced), Selby Best (2nd High Advanced), Ericca Corker (3rd High Advanced), and Sutton Nelson (3rd High Intermediate). Congratulations to all of the students who attended and grew in their knowledge! #HermitsLead
