GBN Graduates Receive HOH Scholarships

Congratulations to the 2024 Homer O. Harvey Scholarship winners, all of whom are members of the NBJH Class of 2020.  Each winner will receive $1,500 as a graduating senior from Glenbrook North High School.

The recipients were recognized at the Glenbrook North Awards Ceremony on May 24. Since 1989, when the fund was established in the name of longtime superintendent Homer O. Harvey, there has been $384,000 awarded to 409 Northbrook Junior High and Glenbrook High School graduates. The primary fund-raiser for the scholarships is the HOH5K, held on the first Saturday in May. This year, the race raised $16,000. Thank you to all the participants and community supporters of this fund.

 

What the Council Does

The PTO Council serves as a liaison between the PTOs at each of the four district schools. The Council coordinates the publication of the district-wide calendar and the student directory App. It also supports a variety of programs, such as the Kenya Sister School, HOH Scholarships, the HOH 5K Run-Walk-Obstacle Course, and the Gift Card Plus Program.

Goals

To promote a close relationship between the home and the school, so parents, guardians, teachers, school staff, and school administrators may cooperate in the education and enrichment of the students 

  • To promote an environment in which every student has the opportunity to grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally
  • To raise funds for the benefit of the District 28 Schools and students. 

Meetings

The Council meets at 9 a.m. the first Tuesday of the month in the HOH Community Room at the district office, 1475 Maple Ave. The meetings are open to everyone.
