Homer Community Schools

Starting on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010, all Juniors in the Sate of Michigan will begin testing on the MME.  There are three days the MME will be taken:  March 9th, 10th, and 11th.   Testing will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude around 10:30 a.m.  Prior to 8:00, Juniors can stop by the cafeteria to eat.  Please encourage your student to do well, get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast!

Parents - be pro-active in your child's grades and attendance by going to "Parent Viewer" under the District Menu.  To sign in, you will need your child's 8-digit school I.D. number for both the username and password.  You can stay informed of their progress, check tardies and absences, and e-mail teachers.

Financial Aid - Seniors may begin filling out their FAFSA forms online beginning in January of 2010.  It is a good idea to get your PIN number right now.   Come in to the counseling office & Mrs. Malone can get you set up.

The 2010 Homer High School and Homer Area Community Foundation scholarships are due March 19 by 3:00 p.m. in the counseling office.   There are still scholarship packets available.

Michigan’s new graduation requirements go into effect with the class of 2011 (8^th graders in 2006-2007). In satisfying these requirements, graduates will meet and often surpass the most stringent entry requirements for all colleges and universities in the state, and will provide the academic and applied learning skills business and industry leaders expect in their work force.

If a four-year college is not in your plans, vocational/technical schools offer courses that specifically prepare you for a career field. You will only need to take classes related to that career.
