This special guide is intended to convey a sense of community for those living in Herndon as well as provide practical what-to-do and where-to-go information.
The guide details how local government works and provides basic information on the school system such as vaccination requirements as well as details on recreation, parks and places of worship. Phone numbers to get more information about any service or issue are also offered.
