We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

After four years of going to school at Hernando High School, I would say it's been a pretty average experience overall. Nothing really stood out and nothing was really bad.

Hernando High School was a place that had a real sense of community. Due to the fact that the school is located near the center of town, the entire town celebrated events such as game days and parades. I thoroughly enjoyed the sense of belonging I got when attending HHS that I did not have from my previous school.

The teachers at Hernando are very passionate about their students, the students inside the school also have a strong sense of community. The learning environment is also amazing and the school overall feels like a second home sometimes.
