Well, can you believe it! We have been in session for 11 weeks!
Our teachers are planning rigorous and relevant lessons for our students each day. Our students are engaged not only in academics but also school life. Our students have created a variety of clubs that are open to any Henry student.
Some of the clubs are:
● Black Student Union
● GSA Club
● Rock Band Club
● Patriot Press Club
● Greenpeace Club
● Circle of Friends Club
● MEChA Club
● Key Club
● Community Service Club
● Knit Happens Club
● Photography Club
● Surfrider Club
This is just a handful of clubs that we offer.
Along with clubs, we also offer Academic Labs (Tutoring Sessions) for students Tuesdays-Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. in the library. Any student can access these labs to get support from our teachers and students from our Link Crew.

College Application Workshops: Our counselors will be supporting our seniors on their college applications between Nov. 14-17 in the computer lab at lunch time. The workshop is open to all interested seniors who may need some assistance or clarification with the application process.
Congratulations to our fall student athletes!
Our student athletes worked tirelessly to support their teams this past season.
Congratulations to Anna Pallencaoe and Kate Prichard (pictured above) for winning the Western League doubles girls’ tennis championship. Also, our girls’ volleyball team earned a spot in the CIF playoffs. Our winter season begins in January and we are looking forward to the new season. Way to go Patriots!
According to PHHS Athletic Director Cody Clark, “We have 114 varsity student-athletes this fall who achieved a 3.0 or higher GPA. Huge congratulations to our field hockey team who has 100 percent of student-athletes who made the list. This is approximately 65 percent of our fall student-athletes who earned above a 3.0”
