🎉 Congratulations to our very first Lancers R.I.D.E. raffle winner, L.J. Graham! 🎉
L.J. earned a R.I.D.E. ticket for demonstrating exceptional integrity and embodying the values that make our school community strong. He deposited his ticket into our raffle box and his name was selected!
The Lancers R.I.D.E. program celebrates students who show:
⭐️R – Responsibility
⭐️I – Integrity
⭐️D – Determination
⭐️E – Empathy
This Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) initiative highlights our students' amazing actions. We’re thrilled to recognize and reward their hard work and character! Let’s cheer on L.J. and stay tuned for our next winner—our students are doing great things!


Once again, Ms. Ripple did a phenomenal job recruiting and organizing some exceptional community members for our FHHS Career Day. We're grateful for all of the time and energy that everyone invested in our students' futures!











This morning, Middle and High School students selected 20 ornaments for the annual Santa Tree project. Each ornament represents a child in need of Christmas gifts. Athens County Children's Services joined us to explain the initiative, which provides gifts to approximately 1,000 children in Athens County. Our students always look forward to this event and embrace the spirit of giving. The gifts will be presented to ACCS during our assembly and "12 Days of Christmas" sing-along, scheduled for the day before winter break.





We're excited to share a new weekly feature, the FHHS Lancer Learners and Leaders. Enjoy meeting our staff and students!
