Message from the Principal

Dear Homer Junior High Community,

It is my honor and privilege to serve as your principal for the coming 2021-2022 school year. As I meet and work with more and more of you in the learning community, I have felt welcomed and supported as I transition to serve as your Principal of Homer Jr. High School. I look forward to working for the students, staff, parents, and community members of HJH and getting to know each of you. The relationships we build will be the foundation for our high expectations for all students, and will foster academic and personal growth amongst our student body.

Looking at the school year ahead, we have plans to make it a great experience for all by bringing back some normalcy coupled with support systems as we all transition back to school. We will abide by CDC, IDPH, and District guidelines as we welcome students back to a full day schedule in our newly renovated building. As a staff, we will continue to make the most of our time with students, and work with you to help each student reach their personal academic goals for this school year.

Thank you for welcoming me to The Home of the Mustangs, and I look forward to an amazing school year ahead. I encourage you to reach out to me at your convenience; together we can do great things to champion our students!

Sincerely,

Lisa Figurell

Principal
Homer Jr. High School
