Today we were Creek Explorers at Amesville! Grades K-5 spent time learning from Rural Action about the ecology of our creek and exploring in, around and near it. This will help prepare our 3rd-5th graders for an art based learning project they are beginning. Thanks Rural Action!
We're all so proud of our FHHS Students of the Month!

The OU Gridlab hosted our FH Career Exploration class for a fun-filled experience today! Students learned of the programs offered and what career options there are with virtual reality, as well as the green screen technology, sound lab, and E-sports programs.
We appreciate these hands-on experiences and enjoy learning about opportunities outside of our school.
FHHS, in partnership with Tri County Career Center, was awarded more than $200,000 from Ohio's Career Technical Education Equipment grant! The funds will support the creation of an Exercise Science and Sports Medicine career pathway at FHHS by renovating one of our science labs and purchasing a variety of life science resources, including a state-of-the-art digital anatomy table. The anatomy table can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRTJ0N4QSy4

Dear Federal Hocking Families,
Due to the March 19, 2024 Presidential Primary Election there will be no classes for students at Amesville Elementary School and Coolville Elementary School that day. This affects ELEMENTARY STUDENTS ONLY. Middle and High School Students WILL BE in session March 19, as normal.
On April 8, 2024 a total eclipse will be visible in our area. Because the maximum view of this would be during the afternoon ride home for elementary students, school will be dismissed early on April 8.
Federal Hocking Middle and High Schools will be dismissed at 12:30 on Monday, April 8, 2024.
Amesville and Coolville Elementary Schools will be dismissed at 1:30 on Monday, April 8, 2024.
Thank you,
David Hanning
FHHS was fortunate to have guest presenters Brett Hill and Amedee Royer bring cultural awareness to our students using their first-hand knowledge of the people and customs of Ukraine. These musicians performed traditional Ukrainian songs that all of the Lancers thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank you so much to those families who came in and joined us for our Healthy Habits Cafe on Wednesday, February 21st. We enjoyed getting to talk with you about how we can work together to help your children be prepared for school! Thank you also to the members of our local resources at Hopewell Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Center, Little Lancers Program and the Coolville Public Library who came to help support our families as well.
On Friday, 48 MS and HS student volunteers participated in Sources of Strength training. SOS is a program designed to develop "Peer leaders spreading hope, help, and strength." SOS is the foundation of PBIS work that ensures students feel great about being in our schools.
