The schools are located on approximately 17 acres of land and are composed of the Lillian Fletcher Elementary School and the new Homer Middle School/Homer High School complex. We participate in the Big-8 Athletic Conference; over 300 students per year compete in a wide range of middle school and high school athletic activities. Our athletic program receives a great deal of help from a very active and supportive Trojan Athletic Club. • Over 100,000 meals per year are served to our K-12 students. Breakfast costs are $1.30, lunch costs are $2.15 per elementary child and $2.35 per middle school/high school student. The school district has a very modern, clean, and well-maintained physical environment. The 1987 addition, the renovations in the elementary and new building structure in 2004, and the opening of the new high school/middle school building in January of 2013 have made our K-12 facility one of the best in the area. Our fleet of 13 state-inspected buses travel over 100,000 miles per year under the care and responsibility of our 9 state approved drivers. Homer Community Schools continues to update facilities with the completion of our new high school/middle school classroom structure in January, 2013.
