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. Henrico has an award winning band and step team.
The school principal is Mr. William Parker. Each year, the school chooses a new motto. This year, it's "Teamwork makes the dreamwork." Mr. Parker's favorite phrase is "Behold the Green and Gold!"
