Homewood-Flossmoor High School Reviews

Homewood-Flossmoor is one of the best all around public high schools in the area. I transferred from another high school within the south suburbs whose academic level and rigor did not compare, yet the staff at HF helped me adequately adjust to the much-needed challenging environment. I quickly made friends, some lifelong, and had some of the best teachers who I continue to stay in contact with. Working at other high schools, their community environment and facilities are no match. I was able to participate in activities, clubs, and sports where coaches/staff were amazing to work with. As neither of my parents went to college, I had no clue what to do but support staff did a great job of ensuring all students applied to and were informed about colleges/universities and that process. I was even able to take AP courses and earn some additional college credit while I was still a student there. I will forever appreciate HF and the education and experience I attained there. Go Vikings!
