IB Parent Information Meetings
We had a good turnout for our annual IB parent information meetings. The purpose of these meetings, which follow meeting teachers are Back to School Night, is to provide parents with an overview of the program as a whole and how all the parts fit together. If you couldn’t make it, or if you want to go back and review, here are the powerpoint presentations I shared: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1V6kyYe0q5BNTP2kbNnQs4HyKZ4jk69wP?usp=sharing
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Biddle!

National Merit comes to HHS
Officials of National Merit Scholarship Corporation recently announced the names of approximately 16,000 Semifinalists, including several from Henrico schools, in the 65th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring. More than 90 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and about half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
Among the Henrico Semifinalists is our Mitali Barik from Henrico H.S!!
A not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance, NMSC was established in 1955 specifically to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 400 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC’s goals of honoring the nation’s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence.
Congratulations Joshua!

If you were waitlisted, you should have also received an email with a form to return indicating that you wish to remain on our wait list. This document must be to us no later than March 22. We will be contacting students on our list as we have space available.
