Welcome to Hickory High School

Our district offers several communications platforms that provide students, parents, and staff the opportunity to engage in a two-way dialogue.

Quick Tip is an anonymous way to make school administrators aware of a specific safety concern.

Send the school district your questions, concerns, suggestions, and or compliments through Let’s Talk.

Chesapeake Crime Line provides a way for citizens to report criminal activity to local authorities.

Mr. Leroy Harper, a frontline custodian at Hickory High School, has been named one of five national finalists for the Rock Star Custodian Award sponsored by the Academy of Cleaning Excellence. Now, it’s up to the community to vote for the overall winner!

His former supervisor, Mr. Sam Warren, said in his nomination, “Mr. Harper is often the custodian chosen to sample new equipment, services, and products for possible inclusion into the overall district custodial services department. His opinion on things related to protocol and innovations is very much respected.”

Mr. Harper is also known to participate in a variety of community service activities at Hickory High School including Coats for Kids, school supply drives, and holiday meal giveaways. Mr. Harper is a school leader who stays abreast of innovations in the custodial industry and serves on our Custodial Advisory Committee.

The Rock Star Custodian Award is based on nine personal traits including communication, service to others, integrity, and more.

The overall winner is now determined by community votes. You can vote daily using the QR Code or by visiting: rockstarsofcleaning.com/rock-star-national-voting
