Homecoming Weekend is a little over a month away, and our Vikings are about to set sail. "Seas the Night" Homecoming Dance is happening on Saturday, September 20th at 7:30 p.m. in the North Gym. Nominations for HoCo Court will open on August 25th (more to come on that). Tickets are $25 per person (plus service charge) and are on sale beginning this Monday, August 18th through Friday, September 12th.

If you are planning on bringing a guest to the Homecoming Dance that is not a student at HF, you will need to turn in a Guest Form to the South Deans' Office by Friday, September 5th.

The Chicago Bears welcomed our new Flag Football Program to training camp at Halas Hall this month! Our student-athletes did an awesome job representing Viking Excellence: We were one of only five schools in Illinois selected for this amazing opportunity. Bears Outreach stated that HF is "the best school they have had the pleasure of working with."

Homewood-Flossmoor High School and Honest Game have partnered to provide students and families with an easy-to-use College Athletic Pathway software and additional educational resources. We know that accessing scholarships and college athletics requires not only a commitment to athletic training and competition but also a commitment to academic success.

Honest Game’s online platform provides students and families with individualized tracking across FIVE college athletic opportunities, including NCAA DI, DII, DII, NAIA, and Junior College pathways. Learn more and get started by clicking the link below.

Fall Sports are officially here, and we can't wait to see our community come out to support our Vikings. Reminder that tickets for games must be purchased on GoFan (no tickets will be sold at the gate). Learn more about Athletic events at HF here.

HF families and students are in control of how HF communicates with them. HF uses Parent Square | Student Square to communicate with families and students.
