HF FYI
February 13, 2025
It’s chilly outside, but the summer heat is just around the corner. You can cool off at HF and sign up for Summer School 2025!
Students interested in attending Summer School will enter their choice in Schoolinks where their counselor will approve it. Students can start meeting now with their counselors to complete this process. Learn about summer school course offerings, registration and more in the 2025 Summer School Brochure.
You may remember Senior Javiyah Israel winning Best of Show for her self-portrait, "Unbothered", in the Teen Category of the Black Creativity Exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry earlier this month.
The recognition caught the attention of WBEZ-FM 91.5, but Javiyah couldn't help but to shine a light on the Fine Arts programs here at HF, as well as the clubs and activities that allow her to further sharpen her talents. Be sure to catch Javiyah's interview on WBEZ this Tuesday, February 18th during the morning and afternoon broadcasts!

Are you a fan of The Voice? If you've been tuned in this season, you may have caught one of our 2020 Alum Ariel Davis, better known by her stage name, Ari Camille! Ari's recent performance earned her a spot on John Legend's Team! Watch the performance here and catch new episodes Mondays on NBC and Peacock.
You can make a difference today for one of our Viking Alum: The family of Khairi Ross (Class of 2019) is asking for your help as Khairi faces Stage 4 Colon Cancer, a diagnosis received just last month. You can read the family's full story and donate to their GoFundMe here.
HF students, staff and administration send our full love and support to Khairi--we know you can fight like a Viking!
