During passing periods, the dads will passed out candy, brightened students’ days with dad jokes, and share words of encouragement to the Viking scholars.
“The community needs Fathers,” Principal Clinton Alexander said. “It is a day of great camaraderie, fellowship, and something truly remarkable for Homewood-Flossmoor High School. The Dad Squad event is not just about fathers and granddads; it’s about the entire school community coming together to make a positive difference in the lives of our students.”
