So excited to have Julie Lythcott-Haims speaking to our PJHS 8th graders and HF community parents about life, education, and the best path forward to be an effective adult!

It was a special morning at Serena Hills today, when the Homewood-Flossmoor Baseball Team stopped by for a visit. They read some books, taught us what it means to be a good teammate, and played Simon Says! Thanks to Coach McCarthy and all the players for the special visit!
