MY HOMEWOOD JUSTIN HEFNER
Homewood City Schools Superintendent
Books + Smiles
Little Professor’s Story Time I love the authors, community members, book enthusiasts and other local business owners taking time out of their busy days to read to invest into the literacy interest of children during these story times. I guess I’m partial since it feels like a classroom! Little Professor is also my favorite place to grab a cup of coffee or a latte.
Stand-Out Evening
Homewood Grown I love Patriot Park’s greenspace, the pool area, the walkability and access to local eateries like Pizzeria GM, Ash, and Neighbors Ice Cream, but I especially love Patriot Park when it hosts the Homewood City Schools Foundation’s event, Homewood Grown. The evening supports Homewood City Schools honors Teacher Impact Award winners and has amazing keynote speakers. It makes for a pretty incredible evening!
Friday Night Lights
Homewood High School Football Games I love sports, but I particularly love Homewood sports. Friday nights at Waldrop Stadium are among my favorite nights of the year. I love the community coming together to cheer on our student-athletes, the atmosphere, the band, the football team, the Spangles, letterman, color guard and cheerleaders. What an experience that shares the spirit of Homewood so well!
The Best Day
We Love Homewood Day This is truly my favorite day of the year in Homewood! I love the parade, the 5K run, rides, games, Rotary Club chalk art, inflatables at Central Park and the street dance. How many cities have a dedicated day to celebrating the shared love of the city?
On the Field
Homewood Athletic Complex We are so fortunate to have incredible youth athletic facilities. I love the Megafield flag football games and the T-ball, coach-pitch and kid-pitch baseball games at the baseball fields. I love how many families come to cheer on their friends as they play games on our beautiful fields. The springtime at the ballpark is among my favorite times of the year!
