There are a lot of great activities taking place in the area over the next few weekends, including right here at North Forney High School. Hopefully, you and your family are able to get out and enjoy a few of them. Have a blessed weekend.

High Schooler's Guide to the Galaxy
Tickets on SALE now. See poster below for information.
Four students stare out at the audience. Tomorrow they start their freshman year of high school. There are so many things to worry about...these students need a survival guide and that’s exactly what this play attempts to do with hilariously embarrassing and awkward results. Watch as our guides take us through the gauntlet that is high school.
