PTSA President Wordle

Welcome back, FHS students and families, to the 2024-2025 school year! This is Maria Felton, your PTSA president. We are thrilled to embark on another exciting and enriching year with all of you. 

As we step into a new academic year, we look forward to creating wonderful memories, fostering growth, and building a strong community together. Our dedicated staff and volunteers are committed to supporting our students' success and ensuring that FHS remains a vibrant and inclusive place for everyone.

We encourage all students and families to get involved, whether through PTSA events, volunteering, or supporting our initiatives. Together, we can make this school year unforgettable and meaningful for everyone.

Here's to a fantastic year ahead filled with learning, laughter, and lasting friendships. Welcome back to FHS!
