Homewood-Flossmoor High School

What Homewood-Flossmoor High School does

Homewood-Flossmoor High School is a public secondary institution operating as Homewood-Flossmoor Community High School District 233, located at 999 Kedzie Avenue in Flossmoor, Illinois, approximately 25 miles south of Chicago. The school serves nearly 3,000 students from the villages of Homewood, Flossmoor, and surrounding communities across an 11.5-square-mile district, supported by approximately 630 administrative, faculty, and staff members. It is governed by an elected Board of Education as a government state entity with no parent company, private equity, or venture capital backing, and offers programs to district residents free of tuition.

The school's academic portfolio is structured around three pillars: (1) accelerated learning programs including 28 Advanced Placement courses across six content areas, International Baccalaureate Diploma and Career-related Programmes, and dual credit partnerships with Prairie State College and Lewis University; (2) a College and Career Pathways system offering 19 state-recognized endorsements spanning all seven Illinois career clusters (Agriculture, Arts & Communication, Finance & Business, Health Sciences, Human & Public Services, Information Technology, and Manufacturing/Engineering/Trades); and (3) specialized facilities including a Net Zero Science Building and renovated Culinary and Fashion/Interior Design labs. The instructional technology stack includes PowerSchool for student information management, Google Classroom for learning management, CPM (College Preparatory Mathematics) Core Connections curriculum for an integrated Math 1-2-3 sequence, Follett Destiny and Sora for library services, and Renaissance Star Reading/Math for assessment. Communication infrastructure runs on Finalsite (web CMS), ParentSquare (mass notifications), and Weglot (six-language translation).

Revenue is generated primarily through local property taxes and Illinois state education funding. Supplemental fee-based revenue streams include Summer School enrollment and Summer Driver Education ($75 classroom, $100 behind-the-wheel). Capital projects are funded through a mix of bond issuances, district reserves, and grants: the $29.85 million Net Zero Science Building project was offset by a $2 million Illinois Clean Energy Grant, $40,000 ComEd grant, and $500,000 state capital improvement grant, with the remainder financed via a $20 million capital improvement bond. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on district boundary enrollment, community engagement through the strategic planning process, and multi-channel communications including the HF News Hub, weekly eNewsletter, social media, and award-winning Viking Television programming.
