Students in our Student Success Academy are leading the effort for our first annual Professional and Business Casual Clothing Drive to fill up our new "CAREER CLOSET"! We are looking for all sizes of men's and women's clothing to suit up our students as they go out for interviews or into the workforce. We will be accepting donation in K005 and while the major drive will be this THURSDAY in K005, we will continue to accept donations throughout the school year!

All students are able to order an FHS yearbook! In order to do so, please fill out this form:
