School Spirit!

Friday was 2-2 Day! We love such dedication and school spirit by our staff!

Environmental Club

Ten students and alumni joined us today to further our efforts to remove plastic pollution. It was such a perfect connection because our goal on campus is to prevent plastic from making it downstream, and the co-presidents gave a presentation on runoff at their last meeting. Students were able to see that some trash always makes it through, so it’s important to also clean up coastal areas, especially after a rain event (plus, it was World Wetlands Day!). They had so much fun and it was awesome to see our students doing some community service on the weekend. Looking forward to a continued partnership!

Refresh and join!

Last week, we had programs and clubs out recruiting! Getting involved in high school makes it more fun and students gain invaluable experiences that will help them in the future! Registration for next year starts in one week! Be ready to choose your program!

I'll say it again, we have amazingly talented students at FUHS!
