Mrs. Owens and the Library Club would like to thank all of the students, teachers, administrators, donors, and community supporters who helped to make this school year so successful. From the Scholastic Book Fair in the fall to the Social Studies and Science Fairs in the spring, we have had a busy and productive year. We have added more than one hundred new books to the library collection and continued our literacy initiatives with Career Projects and the Volunteer Reader Program. We also want to say a special “thank you” to donors such as The Lisa Libraries of New York, The Historic New Orleans Collection, Claiborne Parish Farm Bureau, Adoptaclassroom.org, and the White-Reinhardt Foundation for sponsoring many of our programs this year.

Students at Homer Elementary received Reading Prizes at the annual Awards Day. Thanks to a grant funded by The Lisa Libraries of New York, top readers were presented with books to take home.
On behalf of our administration, faculty, and support staff, we sincerely thank you for supporting us with your votes today. We believe that our students are our future. When you support our schools and the students within, you help support our future. Preparing our next generation is what we strive to do everyday, and your support encourages us. Thank you from the Homer High School faculty and staff.
The Awards Assembly that was scheduled for Friday, April 27th, has been postponed until further notice.
Seniors are also asked to submit 5-7 photos of throughout your school years to be used to create a video that will be shown before graduation. Your pictures are due to Mr. Mitchell before April 20. If you miss the deadline, your pictures will not be added to the slide show.
We are planning an EOC kickoff/Funday this Friday afternoon. Students must sign up and pay Coach Gilbert to play in the Coed Volleyball games, 3 on 3 basketball, 3 point shoot out and dunking contest by Wed. Entry forms are in the office. Fun Day will be this Friday from 12:15-3:00. Admission is free but students must pay for all activities except class tug of war. Concessions will be available. If you wait and sign up after Wed – entry fee doubles! If you receive any referral or suspension or are sent out of class, you will not be allowed to participate in the funday activities.
Due to Tuesday afternoon storms, areas in Claiborne Parish are still without power. Entergy states power will not be restored until at least midday tomorrow. Therefore Homer schools are cancelled for Wednesday, April 4, 2018.
