H-F is the only high school in Illinois that sends its music students on international tours annually. Last year the H-F Symphonic Band went to Spain and Morocco.
Students have been working since last summer on numerous fundraising and service projects; they operated the lunch service at H-F’s summer school; performed (and sold pies) at Homewood’s French Market during the summer and fall; raked leaves; and engaged in numerous additional service and fundraising projects.
