History

Herricks High School stands on Watermelon Hill. The land near the area was a burial ground for the Pearsall family starting in the 17th century, but the burial grounds were later removed.[4]

The high school opened in September 1958 and had its first graduating class in 1960.[5]

Known for the "Herricks Prayer Case, Engel v. Vitale," the Herricks School District (a.k.a. Union Free School District #9) was sued by five district property owners in 1959. "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country" was recited as a daily procedure on the recommendation of the NY State Board of Regents. This case was decided by the U. S. Supreme Court, which ruled the prayer unconstitutional in 1962.[6][7]

In 2013, Herricks High School celebrated the Herricks School District's 200th anniversary.[8]

In the late 2010s, the cafeterias received major renovations, creating a more inviting and open atmosphere.[9]

Music and theater

The music department is home to ten different performing ensembles, including several advanced groups: Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, and Chamber Choir.[10]

Herricks is also home to Chapter 1975 of the Tri-M Music Honor Society.[11][12]

Sports

Herricks High School offers the following sports: football, badminton, softball, baseball, tennis, soccer, wrestling, volleyball, lacrosse, basketball, bowling, swimming, track, Winter Track and Field, golf, cross country, fencing, and cheerleading.[13]

Television

Herricks High School has a television channel called HTN (Herricks Television Network) that goes with their TV Studio classes. The morning announcements air on HTN at around 9:30 AM Monday-Friday. HTN airs locally on Channel 47 on Verizon Fios, Channel 75 on Altice, and Channel 65 on Antenna TV.
