Francis Howell Community:

Journalism students from Francis Howell Central High School and Francis Howell High School will host a Board Candidate Forum on Tuesday, March 31, in the Francis Howell Central Auditorium.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the forum begins at 7 p.m. Registration is not required. The event will be livestreamed on FHCtoday.com for those who cannot attend in person.

The forum is fully planned and led by students. They develop the questions, set the format and moderate the discussion. We encourage you to attend or watch the livestream to support their work and learn more about this year’s board candidates.

At this time, three of the six candidates — Mr. Adams, Mrs. Dillard, and Mr. McGuire — have confirmed their participation in the forum.
