H-F L.I.T.E. presents Peter/Wendy


In its first live performance in the new H-F Performing Arts Center, H-F's Leaders In Theatre Ensemble will present Peter/Wendy on Friday, Aug. 20 (7 p.m.) & Saturday, Aug. 21 (2 p.m. & 7 p.m.).


In this lyrical, atmospheric interpretation of Peter Pan, playwright Jeremy Bloom strips the familiar story down to its emotional essence. Peter (Avery Calhoon) lures Wendy (Amy Ward) away from her nursery to the magical world of Neverland, where she joins his adventures with Tinkerbell (Grace Opyd), Tiger Lily (Anly Flores), and the menacing Captain Hook (Marissa Diaz). Directed by Mr. Willard-Rose, this production also features Jayla Watts (Mrs. Darling/Smee); Zosha Schall (The Lost); Sean Haggerty (The Lost); and Jazmin Rhodes (Mermaid). Tickets ($5/student/senior; $10/adult) will be available at the door and in advance at: hfhs.ticketleap.com/peterwendy/

Our Athletic Department is following the IHSA “Return to Athletics” Plan for the 2021-2022 school year. The plan will be modified throughout the year to meet the fluid recommendations from the IHSA, CDC, IDPH and Office of the Governor. Please see the guidelines below regarding spectators:

Reminder: New lunch account


This school year pre-packaged breakfasts and lunches will be available to purchase via cash or student ID in both cafeterias. Our foodservice company, Quest, will be using new lunch account systems: RevTrak and MySchoolAccount. (Students who had funds remaining in the former MySchoolBucks system — and who did not request a refund — have had their remaining balances transferred into RevTrak.) To set up your new lunch account for this school year, please follow the steps shown to the right.


RevTrak will be used to add funds via credit card; funds can also be added via cash payments or checks (made payable to Quest Foodservice) brought to the H-F Business Office in the North Building.
