Homer High-Lights
Summer Issue
Principal's Message
I hope you are enjoying your summer. Relax and enjoy the warm weather, fishing, camping or whatever you do during this incredible, but sometime frenetic time in Alaska.
Homer High School likes to put out a summer edition of our newsletter to honor all the sports and activities that have happened since our last newsletter, These are sports and activities that don't always get the recognition they deserve. We are proud of all our students accomplishments and hope you enjoy your reading. I look forward to seeing everyone again in August.
As always, I would love to hear from you. If you have ideas or suggestions, please drop by. If you can't make it in, you can call me at 907-235-4600 or e-mail me at dwaclawski@kpbsd.k12.ak.us.
Sincerely,
Douglas Waclawski
