F ROM TH E P R INC IPA L’ S D E S K
W e have been hard at work this year focusing on curriculum, student interventions and
cultural responsiveness. During our Late-Start Fridays, teachers have met in curriculum
teams to revisit what we want students to know, understand, and be able to do in our class-
rooms and beyond high school. Our current focus is on creating units of study for required core
academic classes and beginning-level elective classes. At the end of this journey, we will have
a stronger curriculum foundation that is more responsive to the learning needs of all of our
students.
While we are working on the academic side of things, we are not forgetting about the social and emotional needs of
students. We are closely examining our school day schedule and determining how we can find time to begin a student
advisory period. Similar to what some remember as homeroom, an advisory period will allow us to better facilitate the
creation of individual career and academic plans, assist in what it takes to navigate through the social and emotional
part of the high school journey, and provide more individualized support for student success. An Advisory Committee
has been gathering input, creating schedule options and determining the essential components of an advisory curricu-
lum.
The Front Porch Initiative and the Anti-Defamation League have provided professional-development opportuni-
ties for staff throughout this school year. It is courageous work, and I applaud our staff for their willingness to examine
personal biases, build more cultural awareness, and get to know each other as unique individuals. We will complete
four two-hour sessions by the end of the school year and will walk away with strategies that we can use in our class-
rooms in our ongoing efforts to foster a strong, inclusive, culturally responsive and caring community.
We appreciate all of your support. Go, Vikings! — Jerry Lee Anderson, Ph.D.

Dr. Lawrence Cook provided some insight
into the district’s current financial picture and
the tax levy process at community seminars.
Below are some key takeaways:
• Annually, school districts in Illinois
initiate a tax levy that facilitates the
process of receiving funding from local
taxpayers. District 233 receives the
consumer price index (CPI), plus new
property growth. Average CPI during
the past 10 years has been 1.8%.
• District 233 will receive $1,314,000
as a result of the 2019 Property Tax
Relief Grant from the state of Illinois.
These funds will be abated to the local
taxpayers to provide some tax relief W ork is well underway on the Fine Arts Expansion Project, which

IN THE C LAS S ROOM
IB Diploma Programme changed to offer more flexibility
I t has been seven years since H-F became the first public high school in Chicago’s suburbs to earn IB
World School status. The program at H-F is a rigorous schedule of Advanced Placement and Interna-
tional Baccalaureate courses over a student’s four years, allowing H-F to continue its mission of up-
holding the highest standards for intellectual growth. Incoming students whose grades, test scores and
overall academic performance rank them at the top of their class are invited into the IB Prep Academy,
then they begin the two-year IB Diploma Programme their junior year. This school year two courses
were added to the roster for the Class of 2023: SL Mathematics and HL Psychology. These additions open
up H-F’s IB Prep Academy to eligible 9th Graders who have completed Algebra 1 Honors in 8th Grade. Additionally, there
is now an “on-ramp” to IB for eligible students to enter the IB Prep Academy as 10th Graders. Previously, students had to
begin the program immediately as freshmen.
The IB SL Mathematics course replaces IB Math HL 1 AB Calculus and eliminates the necessity for students to complete
Geometry Honors over the summer between 8th and 9th Grade. IB Prep Academy students who have completed Algebra
1 Honors in 8th Grade can begin with Geometry Honors in 9th Grade and still be eligible to earn the IB Diploma. IB Prep
Academy students who have completed Geometry Honors in 8th Grade and take Algebra 2/Trig Honors in 9th Grade can
have more flexibility with a math or another elective class when they are juniors or seniors, while still remaining eligible
for the IB Diploma.
The IB HL Psychology course can be taken in place of IB SL Economics. Rising seniors in the IB Diploma Programme
may take Economics Honors during the summer, or they may take it at the Honors or AP level during the school year. IB
HL Psychology students are exempt from taking art or music courses in Grades 9-11, allowing more room in their sched-
ules for electives unrelated to the IB Diploma Programme.
The IB Diploma Programme continues to include the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge courses and requirement
for the completion of community service hours. H-F’s most recent graduating class had six IB Diploma recipients and 11
IB Certificate recipients. For more information, please contact the Curriculum Office at 708-335-5330. HF
Unified P.E. in Spotlight
David Dore, Special Education teacher; Jen Olumstad,
PE/Health/DE teacher; and junior Donzel Marshall and
many other students were featured in a video for Special
Olympics that highlighted H-F’s Unified Physical Education
class. Unified PE pairs general education students with spe-
cial needs students for partner activities and to learn team
sports. Donzel is a Special Olympics Unified Ambassador,
and H-F was named a Unified Champi-
on School in 2018.
Cross-Discipline Fun
The week before semester final exams,
students from Jon Elfner’s U.S. History class joined
with Christina Clark & Alyssa Marassa’s Culinary
students for the inaugural Cooking Up an A+ event.
The students worked in teams of four to create a
dish of baked macaroni & cheese to share, then they
studied together for their final exams.

Strategic Plan Update:
Student Supports Beyond the Classroom
O
ne important area of focus of the District 233 Strategic Plan — approved
last year — is Student Supports Beyond the Classroom, which is, as it
sounds, what the district can and should be doing to help its students beyond
academics. Oftentimes, helping students in other areas can ultimately help
them achieve academic success. The first two goals for this area are: (1) Expand
academic and social-emotional supports to meet the needs of students; and (2)
Assess current MTSS model and strengthen current interventions and inte-
grate additional supports as necessary. On this page, you will find initiatives
that are already underway related to these goals.

H-F has a very robust Advanced Placement program. The school offers 25 AP courses, where students get
experience taking a college-level class with the opportunity to earn college credits. Last year, nearly 3,000 AP
exams were taken by our students, resulting in approximately 700 earned credits! The biggest strides last
year were made in AP Statistics, where the number of students earning credit after taking the AP exam
jumped 20%, and in AP Environmental Science, where three times as many students as the past year earned
credit. Here’s a look at our AP Scholars, as recognized by the College Board:
