The FHS Prom lived up to its theme—An Elegant Affair—as students filled the night with style, celebration, and unforgettable memories. A packed house gathered for the Grand March, where students dazzled in their formalwear, cheered on by friends, families, and staff.
Following the march, students danced the night away, enjoying music, laughter, and time together on the floor. The evening concluded with a variety of large prize giveaways and delicious appetizers, capping off the night on a high note.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the staff, volunteers, and community members who helped make this magical evening possible. Your time, effort, and support created a night to remember for our students!
Mr. Hemstad's 6th Grade Scientists Model the Solar System
Students in Mr. Hemstad’s 6th grade science class recently teamed up to create scale models of the solar system. Before building, they completed careful calculations to ensure accurate proportions between planets and distances. This hands-on project allowed students to apply their math and science skills in a fun and collaborative way, while gaining a deeper understanding of the vastness of space.

Mr. Matthews' World History Class Creates Colorful Timelines
Students in Mr. Matthews’ World History class recently brought history to life by creating vibrant timelines. Each color of paper represents a different civilization studied throughout the school year, beginning with the earliest topics covered in the fall. As part of the project, students identified and illustrated ten significant events from their chosen civilization’s history, showcasing their understanding and creativity in a hands-on, visual format.
You've Been "Egged!"
Students in Mrs. Mannausau’s math class were recently “egged” with a surprise riddle: Why was the equal sign so humble?
Answer: Because it wasn’t less than or greater than anyone else!
This math-themed mystery brings some extra fun to our days as we anticipate warmer and sunnier weather. Students will be on the lookout for more surprise visits from these mysterious "peeps" throughout the month!

Celebrating 50 Years of Voyageurs National Park
Falls High School students, led by Mr. Mathews, had the unique opportunity to visit the Voyageurs National Park Headquarters in celebration of the park’s 50th anniversary. During the visit, they toured the facility, engaged with staff members to learn about various roles within the National Park Service, and explored potential career paths the agency offers. Highlights included a glimpse into the park’s public library and a special viewing of the archive collection, which featured ancient pottery, historic logging equipment, personal journals, and more.
Conflict and Bullying
Please talk to a trusted adult if you or a friend are struggling with conflict, bullying. We have attached some resources below as a guide. When we bring a community together, conflicts inevitably arise. If the conflict persists into bullying or harassment it is imperative that students and adults work together to make it stop. At FHS we take this seriously and will thoughtfully and carefully investigate each incidence, help resolve conflict, and address bullying. Everyone deserves to feel safe at school!
