We kicked off Black History Month at James Hart School yesterday with an introduction to Panther TV's month-long short video series. Check our website every school day to learn something new!

Congratulations to the James Hart's 6th/7th Grade Boys Basketball Team! They defeated Coolidge Middle School on Jan. 24 to take the regional crown. Although they came up short against Parker Jr. High for the sectional title, we thank them for a great season.

District 153 is so very proud of our James Hart and Churchill School athletes who participated in Special Olympics Region E Basketball Skills Tournament in Evergreen Park on Jan. 21st! Participating athletes were Brian Blach, Tristan Clark, Noah Hanzelin, Sierra Holly, Jessie Jursa, Ross McManus, Randall Walters, Alonzo Wilson. Special thanks go out to “peer partners” Hunter Horcher, Gavin Jursa, and Rowan Kolb for their help and support of the team. Great job, kids! #153Proud

According to new research from Stanford and Harvard Universities, District 153 is on track to recover pandemic learning losses in math. The research database, published today in the New York Times, shows district math scores dramatically rebounding last year to pre-pandemic levels.

"There is still much work to do to come back from the pandemic, but these results clearly show that the hard work of our staff, combined with the support of our families, is moving our students in the right direction," said District 153 Superintendent Dr. Scott McAlister.

Homewood School District 153 is the proud home of the James Hart Panthers, Churchill Bulldogs and Willow Wildcats.
