Principal’s Summary:

What a fantastic first semester we have had. We have successfully implemented Beyond Textbooks and our Reteach/Enrich plan is under way. Our students have represented FHS with victory and honor. The band has done a fantastic job marching; our football team made the semifinals again this year; varsity cheer placed fifth out of 32 at regionals; varsity chess placed 8th in state; varsity volleyball made it to state again; and swim and cross country had good seasons. We are extremely proud of our students at FHS as we witness daily our motto of “Building Champions of Today and Tomorrow”.
