Many thanks to our FHS National Honor Society for placing an American Flag outside of our school for each of the 2799 victims of 9/11.

We are ready to begin the new school year with our school cleaning being completed, master schedules being finalized, and fall sports in full swing.
In thinking about the beginning of the year, we are reminded that we have an outstanding group of students and families helping us achieve our mission of everyone becoming their greatest selves. We appreciate all that you do to make our school district run as smoothly as possible with everyone having the opportunity to maximize their potential.
We are proud and pleased to have a group of students and families that partner with us in our effort to provide an innovative, dynamic, and global education for all. The spirit of teamwork and togetherness makes our schools a great place to learn and grow. We anticipate an outstanding school year with these characteristics at the heart of our work over the next ten months.
Please know that your feedback is welcome at any time throughout the year. We are more than willing to discuss any questions, concerns, or ideas that might be on your mind. Feel free to reach out as needed.
