Hello FUHS Families!

We are definitely winding down here but not before some major activities! We started AP and IB testing this week! Hundreds of our students are studying away preparing themselves for these definitive tests they have been preparing for all year! We have already received great feedback from some students and our teachers are hopeful that they all are doing well! I'm sure there will be more studying done this weekend! Of course I hope they pause for a bit on Sunday, to celebrate Mother's Day! From one mom to another I wish you all a Happy Mother's Day!
