Memorial Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service for the United States of America. Memorial Day is about paying respect, respect for those who have fallen in defense of our country’s freedom from the War of Independence to the most recent battles across the world. It is a day to celebrate and honor our comrades, our friends, our family, and/or our neighbors who have passed. The “National Moment of Remembrance” resolution asks that on each Memorial Day at 3 p.m., we observe a moment of silence. “To voluntarily and informally observe in your own way a moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever you are doing for a moment of silence.” We hope you had the opportunity to take time and reflect on the special meaning of Memorial Day.
Attention all seniors! We will need your 100% focus throughout reminder of the 4th quarter. Graduation is something earned and cannot occur unless you have absolutely met 100% of all graduation requirements. June 2nd is the last school day for all 12th grade students, so make sure you take the time return all textbooks to the bookroom so you won’t be charged for them. All unsettled fines will need to be paid prior to participating in graduation. All 9th – 11th grade students need to start gathering all their textbook, so they can be returned as well. All book lockers and PE lockers will be expected to be cleaned out by June 7th.

Titan Wall of Fame – we would like to establish a Titan Wall of Fame for any Hercules High School Alumni who has accomplished a distinguished honor, degree, or professional status. Each year we would like to nominate a new Wall of Fame class that will be inducted at the end of the year academic honor night.
With only 2 weeks of school left for our seniors and three left for all underclassmen, it is important to remember that we are to represent ourselves as Titan Scholars. Titan Scholars demonstrate academic habits that reflect behavior, appearance, vocabulary, and personal responsibility. Students are expected to wear their ID’s visibly around their necks, be on time to all classes and dress appropriately for school throughout each school day.
A couple of items that we need to address:
- Student Parking Lots: If you drive to school you will need to register your vehicle through the cashier’s office. Any vehicle that is not registered or parked in unauthorized areas will be ticketed.
- Students are not to receive food from outside vendors or food purchased from outside vendors are not to be dropped off for students throughout the school day.
- Closed Campus Policy: Once a student is dropped off at school or arrives to school they are not to leave campus for any reason. This includes unauthorized trips to the parking lot. If at any time a student needs to leave campus they need to check out at attendance office. Please remember that the student parking lot is off campus.
