Proposition S is a $244 million bond issue that will not increase the current tax rate. Voter approval of Proposition S would allow the District to borrow money now and in the future to address pressing facility needs at all Francis Howell schools. Updates at FHHS would include a new auditorium/storm shelter and wrestling room, and replacement of our tennis courts and stadium bleachers. For more information, please visit the District website.
