Free Vaccination Clinic – April 2nd!

Restroom Safety Update
We’ve recently seen an increase in vaping and vandalism in the girls' restrooms. To help address this, we are asking all girls to leave their backpacks at the door when using the restroom. This same practice has already been in place in the boys' restrooms following a previous vandalism incident. Our goal is to ensure that all shared spaces are safe, clean, and respectful for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and support!
The Cast of Hamilton Visits FPHS! 🎭✨
Our Performing Arts Center was alive with energy on Friday as cast members from Hamilton joined our students for an unforgettable Q&A session! They shared insights on theater, perseverance, and the power of storytelling—leaving a lasting impact on our aspiring performers. Thank you to these incredible artists for inspiring the next generation! 🎶🎭 #RiseUp #GoCardinals
