Every fall the AP Program of the College Board recognizes high school students who have demonstrated outstanding college-level achievement through their performance on multiple AP Exams. AP Scholars are those students who received scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams. AP Scholars with Honor are those students who received an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. AP Scholars with Distinction are those students who received an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.

PSAT Update from Assessment Office

The previously scheduled All- School Test Day — Wednesday, Oct. 13 — has been changed to a regular school day at H-F. Traditionally on this day juniors would take the PSAT/NMSQT Exam (also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test). This exam will now be given on a volunteer basis in October. There is no penalty for juniors who do not take the PSAT/NMSQT this October. However, the H-F Assessment Office strongly encourages all juniors to continue with their test prep for the spring SAT, utilizing the online guide developed through Khan Academy. Students will also continue to receive regular SAT prep throughout their regular course work at H-F. Additionally, Assessment staff will be using Viking Compass classes to deliver more specific prep and coaching throughout the year.

Juniors, to sign up to take the optional PSAT/NMSQT in October:

1. Log into your H-F student Gmail account.

2. Follow the link https://rb.gy/t9yfn1 

3. Complete the survey and click the "Submit" button by Friday, Sept. 24.

Questions? Please contact Ms. Bucci at 708-335-5584 or [email protected].

Saturday was a busy day in Flossmoor, as more than 800 runners participated in the 2nd Hidden Gem Half Marathon that morning, which included a run through the H-F campus. The H-F Marching Band played for the competitors to inspire them as they rounded the turn around the North Building.

At 1 p.m. on Saturday, the H-F Marching Band with Director Mrs. Whitlock helped to kick off Flossmoor Fest in downtown Flossmoor. The band paraded around the roundabout then played a few songs, ending with The Star Spangled Banner. Click here to watch the band's entrance on the H-F Facebook page...
