NEW NAME! As the Hendrick Academy of Honor has grown over the years and has become better known, the Board has discovered that the phrase "Academy" as part of the organization's name does not effectively describe the organization's purpose. The Board has therefore decided to rename the organization to more accurately reflect the nature of the mission; the new name is Hendrick Scholarship Foundation.
