Alumni Spotlight
Nick Klug, Class of 2020
A fairly recent graduate, Nick Klug doesn't have to look back far to recall fond memories of Homestead High School. With a passion for weather forecasting and sports, Nick chronicles his experiences on the "MKE Metro Weather" Twitter account (formerly "Mequon Weather"). Now a resident of Waukesha, Nick took some time to reflect on his high school days (shoutout to Mr. Sean Crider) and tells us more about his forecasting chops, which even got some attention from one of the Milwaukee area's most well-known weather icons. Who might that be? Click the link below and find out!

In September, The National Merit Scholarship Competition (NMSC) announced the names of over 16,000 Semifinalists in the 68th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Homestead High School is excited to announce that eight of our senior students have qualified as National Merit Semifinalists.
Those students include: Isaac Bloomgarden, Abigail Horwitz, Henry Kroft, Jonathan Lim, Ilia Mikhailenko, Nathan Moldavsky, Maura Whitaker, and Adam Yesufu. This is the second consecutive year that Homestead High School has announced eight students as Semifinalists.
Adam Yesufu Receives Princeton Club of WI Book Award
Senior Adam Yesufu is a recipient of the Princeton Club of Wisconsin Book Award. Yesufu was nominated for this award by Homestead school counselor, Mrs. Sarah Robinson, during his junior year and received the honor during a special dinner held this past June.
The Princeton Book Award is awarded to a high school junior who displays a concern for the opinion of others while demonstrating exceptional leadership, talent, and competence in both academic and nonacademic pursuits. Yesufu was one of 10 students statewide to receive this honor.
