Fall in Love with Falcon Friday
January 10th, 2025
I do not have children attending FHS but I wanted to say something about the Homecoming Game that I attended. The Fighting Falcon Regiment marching band is fantastic. They sound like a huge band even though they are smaller in number. I loved the small town feel of the Homecoming Game and the Parade of the Homecoming King and Queen Nominees. The event truly had a personal touch to it as the announcer gave short biographies of each candidate. I marveled that the students supported their Falcon football team and that they stood on their feet throughout the game. The baseball team is extra extra special and honorable with emphasis on character, talent, and sportsmanship.

I have worked at FHS for over 10 years and I love this building! The staff are wonderful and caring of one another. We work to support our students on so many levels to ensure they are getting an awesome education and experience at FHS. I only see good things to come in the future!

At Falcon High, we have brought back French after not having it in our building for ten years. Last semester, we also celebrated National French Week! Students did various cultural activities to let them easily connect the language they are learning with the people. Students spent one day playing pétanque (bocce ball but with fully metal balls). Another day students review 2000 years of French history via shorts videos, watching everything from part of a cartoon set in the Roman era to a black and white satire about World War II. Our last day of National French Week was spent having a French Food Potluck. Students had researched a diverse spread of French cuisine that they could bring or create and dined together in celebration of the rich culture they are leaning about in their new French classes.

The PTA at FESoT experienced a revamp in the spring of 2024 and we have seen a lot more engagement opportunities through dances, bingo nights, Halloween/In n Out night, etc. These events have provided our family an opportunity to get out and about and interact with others in the school community.

I cannot say enough great things about WHES! I was actually a graduate of FHS and was the first 5th grade class from WHES after it was built. Obviously times have changed since I was in school to now, but so much has stayed the same (in a good way!). I absolutely love the fact that WHES feels like a small town community school. All of the staff is so friendly and they truly do care about each student. We have an incredible teacher this year (Mrs. Moore) and I have been blown away with how invested she is with every student in her class. She wants each kid to succeed and thrive. I have had other interactions with the teachers at WHES and feel they also want the same for their students. I am also so impressed with Mrs. Stegman and how she runs the school. She takes the time to get to know the families and her genuine passion for the school shows in so many ways. I was surprised to know how many kids are enrolled at WHES because it feels so much smaller than that! Even though Falcon as a whole has grown so much over the years, the strength in community is still there and to me, that is what truly matters the most!
