Multiple email accounts???

Should you have multiple email accounts?

The answer is YES! Here is why:

You should have multiple email accounts so that you can control what information goes where. For example, at HHS we have a student email account. Most of you use this email account for everything. Did you know that this email account goes away if you leave Henderson ISD or graduate? What are you going to do when colleges cannot contact you? 

Some recommended email accounts include:

College/Career email account - create an account specifically for applying for scholarships and requesting college information. Having all of your college/career emails in one area will prevent you from missing important information and deadlines.

Personal account - create an account that you will use as your personal email for family and friends. 

Social media account - create an account that you will use with your social media accounts. This will keep all notifications in one area and not clog up your other email accounts. 

Shopping account - create an account specifically for online shopping and store reward cards, sale ads, etc. This will prevent your other email accounts from getting slammed with email that may not be important at the moment. 

Online bill pay account - create an account specifically for any online bills and/or credit cards you have. This will help prevent missing a payment because you didn't see an email. Plus, it will help keep your information all in one area.
