Facilities
The high school features an outdoor campus, built in the same style as Varina High School and J. R. Tucker High School. In 2014, the school added a new classroom building, a cafeteria, and remodeled the athletic "field house" building. The school is currently in stage 2 of major renovation that will update the school's facilities and, most notably, add a brand new building that will house the Center for the Arts' Dance, Theatre, and Musical Theatre programs, IB Theatre, choir, and band. This building was expected to be open in September 2014 was not prepared for that time.
International Baccalaureate
Henrico High is a member of the International Baccalaureate Program. This program encompasses the Middle Years Program for 9th and 10th grade students (freshmen and sophomores) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program for the 11th and 12th graders (juniors and seniors).
Center for the Arts
The CFA Speciality Center includes Music Theater, dance, visual arts, and theatre programs. All areas cover a variety of topics that are relevant to their discipline with a variety of instructors, including guest artists. MT students are trained in music, acting, dance, ensemble, and performance. Dance students are taught ballet, modern, jazz, variety dance, composition, and performance. Visual artists cover topics such as art history, artist vocabulary, while developing artistic skills. Theater involves becoming versed in tech, acting, movement, improvisation, creative writing, dramatic literature, and performance. Every year the Center puts on several showcases: One fall showcase where each CFA dance, theatre, and musical theatre level perform in one big show together and the visual art students have a gallery, four spring showcases where each disciple has their own show, and four senior showcases, one for each discipline, where seniors get to show off their work throughout high school by picking, directing, staging,choreographing, rehearsing, and performing material of their choice with very little input from their teachers. Guest artists are often brought into class to enhance the learning experience of the Center students. Through the center, students are presented with many scholarship opportunities like working in the local area's arts fields and participating in internships.
Sports
The school colors are green and gold, and the mascot is the Warrior.
Henrico has one main rival: Highland Springs High School. In the past, John Marshall High School was considered a big rival, but despite being less than two miles apart, the two schools are in different sports districts and thus don't compete often. A rivalry with Deep Run High School has also developed in recent years.
Henrico won the VHSL Group AAA Boys' Basketball state championship in 2013. The Warriors defeated rival John Marshall in the title game. The championship was the first state title in the history of the school. On March 14, 2015, Henrico won its second state title in boys' basketball, defeating Norview in the championship.
Henrico High School has the following VHSL teams:
