HF FYI
May 15, 2025
As we continue to celebrate Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, Tuesday we hosted "One Ocean, Many Shores" Students had the chance to hear from their very own HF Teachers, Mr. Mulling and Mr. Acena, as well as community member and owner of Homewood's Asian Harbor, Ms. Wang.
We so appreciate them sharing their cultures and experiences with our Vikings. And special thank you to Asian Harbor for bringing some delicious egg rolls to share with our students!
As we prepare for the 2025–2026 school year, we want to inform you of upcoming adjustments to select cafeteria menu prices.
Over the past several years, the Homewood-Flossmoor High School Board of Education has made a deliberate effort to minimize the financial impact of food cost increases on students and families. Specifically:
- The District fully absorbed meal price increases during the 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 school years, effectively freezing meal costs for students and families.
- In the 2024–2025 school year, the District shared the impact by covering 50% of the increased food service costs.
- For the 2025–2026 school year, the District will implement the full price adjustment to reflect actual cost increases associated with food, labor, and service operations.
Modest price adjustments—averaging approximately 6%—are necessary to maintain the quality and service of our cafeteria offerings in response to rising costs for ingredients, packaging, and distribution. Learn more here.
Get Your Signs in Time for Graduation!
If you've been around campus lately, you may have noticed we've updated our light pole banners with some fresh images. The previous ones have been removed and will be available for pickup (if you'd like) for any alum who were featured on a banner or had a student who was.
Please see this folder and email hfinfo@hf233.org with the subject line "Banner Pickup" and a brief description of which banner is yours. We'll confirm a time you can pick up. Note: These banners (like the one pictured here) have been up for about 5 years, so all are featuring students that likely graduated prior to 2020.
