Beginning with the graduating class of 2027, students are required to complete 75 community service hours to earn a diploma (Act 237 of 2023, pages 38-39). Here is an ongoing list of Community Service Opportunities for FHS students.
- Fayetteville High School is a closed campus and students are not allowed to leave during the day unless approved ahead of time. This means that students are not allowed to leave campus during the lunch hour. Additionally, food from outside vendors may not be brought onto campus unless previously approved by the FHS administration.
- Phone calls will not be made into classrooms to excuse students after 3:15 pm daily so interruption to instruction can be limited. Parents should communicate information to students prior to this time if they need to be called out.
- All visitors should report to the Purple Office.
- Student Breakfast price this year is $2.25 and Student Lunches are $3.45. Families can apply for Free and Reduced Meal Benefits HERE
