Community Engagement

Aspiration: We will engage in meaningful and effective leaderships with all families and the greater community.

Streamwood Behavioral offers social/emotional support to students and families going through traumatic situations.  

Northern Illinois Food Bank

The food bank distributes backpacks to more than 25 Huff students every Friday afternoon to provide low-income families with a food source through the weekend and support families going through trauma situations.

This partnership was designed to connect our families to the resources available to them in the Elgin area. This includes local programs, parental support options and other services.

The township offers students a safe and nurturing environment to enhance academic and social skills through weekly open gym and other community activities.  

Elgin Police Department

Elgin police officers have built relationships with parents and students, maintaining community accountability and helping mold our students so they become contributing members of society. 

Ray's Family Restaurant

Ray's supports our families with fine dining in the neighborhood and donates food for staff functions.    

ISU (Illinois State University)/Aurora University

Huff partners with both universities to place student teachers in our classrooms so they can get hands-on experience while helping our students.
