My Students

We all have those memories of high school that we still hang onto in our adult lives. Many of those memories are full of traditions, family, friends and ultimately, the good times of our young academic lives. Our school is the keystone of a small, close-knit community rich with family, tradition, and excellence. Many of my girls have parents and even grandparents that once walked these halls. They are hard-working young ladies that always give 100% effort day in and day out.

My Project

Thanks for your interest in our project for FCAHS girls basketball. Our state association has recently made a rule change that we have to use a new brand of basketballs. These are expensive and we are going to work hard regardless but I want the girls to practice with the new balls for as long as possible. Also, we have a bright future ahead as we have 15 players on the freshmen team alone. These resources listed are vital to our improvement as we begin this off season. We appreciate your help and are grateful for any support you can give.
