Horace Howard Furness High School

District offices and schools are closed today, September 1, in observance of Labor Day. We honor the contributions of workers everywhere and wish everyone a safe and restful holiday.

We’re ready for our students and can’t wait for Monday! Our very own principal, Mr. Peou, was first in line to spread his wings! All credit to Ms. Kalinoski for a beautiful display we know the students are going to love! 🧡🖤🧡🖤 @PHLschools

Calling all Seniors! Looking for the perfect opportunity to get some community service hours? Look no further! Stop by Friday, August 22nd, anytime starting at 8am & give back to your teachers!

Do you need a nurturing place where you can thrive and find support in accomplishing YOUR goals? Furness has courses and activities for every student! Registration is now open so come see us 8-12 every weekday! 📚🎓✏️🚌

Many of these students took Computer Science at Furness which gave them a jumpstart at Launchpad. We are excited to expand our Computer Science offerings this upcoming school year with a new AP course and we’re grateful for our partnership with @LaunchpadPhilly

So proud of our alums who do great things! Recent 2024 graduates just completed their Launchpad coding apprenticeship and concluded with a Demo Day, where they showed off their coding projects which integrated AI. @LaunchpadPhilly 💻⌨️

How do you define bittersweet? Being so happy for and proud of our AP, Mrs. Burke, who will now be the principal at H.A. Brown Elementary School! We will miss her terribly, but we know she’s going to be amazing and we wish her the very best! ⭐️

🚨 We’re HIRING! 🚨 Now’s your chance to join the best school ever—we need an Assistant Principal to join our team! Apply through Taleo and email Principal Peou (dpeou@philasd.org) to express your interest. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference every day! 💥📚✨

We closed out the 2025-2026 school year with a celebration of retirees (who are irreplaceable ❤️) and saying so-long-for-now to some colleagues who are moving on and up! We’re excited to recharge for the summer! See you beginning August 4th for registration!

The senior luncheon was a beautiful affair! Students received special awards and shared one last meal together as Falcons!

Move-up Day was a success! It’s always emotional to think of our seniors transitioning to the next phase of their lives, but we’re proud of all they accomplished! 🎓 AND we’re excited to see our students grow into their new classes!

@FurnessHigh celebrated its diverse community with a Multicultural Food Festival! Students shared traditional dishes representing cultures like Burmese, Cambodian, Mandarin, Nepali, Spanish, and more—honoring their heritage and fostering global citizenship. #PHLed

If you’re in 11th grade and taking chemistry, then you know the end-of-the-year treat that is Dr. Blount’s tie-dye workshop! 🎨 @PHLschools

Today, District offices and schools are closed in observance of Eid al-Adha. May this Eid al-Adha bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to you and your family! #PHLed
