Homeland Park began educating students during the 1954-1955 school year. The school drew students from Gluck Mills, Roberts, McLeese, Southside, and Kennedy Street Schools. In 1959, a new wing was added which included four classrooms, a book room, and two restrooms. In 1990-1991 a second combined renovation and addition was completed. In 2010-2011 a third renovation was completed along with a new wing. The new wing includes an art room, music room, Mac lab, science lab, 4 restrooms, and 4 classrooms.
