Thursday, October 11, 2018 will be a half day for students. Buses will run at 12 noon. Parents may pick up report cards between the hours of 1:00 PM and 5:30 PM. There will be a sign in sheet for parents to sign in. You may go and chat with teachers if you’d like, but please remember they cannot speak to you about specifics if other people are in the room.

Olive School and at Arizona Store also at 5:20 a.m. Students who participate in the live pep rally at 6:00 a.m. may wear spirit shirts and jeans. The jeans can have NO holes, rips, or tears. If no spirit shirt is available, students may wear school uniform shirts. ONLY students participating in the televised pep rally will be allowed to stay in jeans at school. We appreciate the opportunity to showcase Homer High School in a positive light and look forward to seeing all who can attend.

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.

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.
