FHS December Updates

It's a new trimester, which means your students have new classes and teachers! To access your student's schedule, teachers, and grades, go to the Campus Parent Portal. To login to the Parent Portal or setup an account, you can visit this link: https://www.fairfieldsfuture.org/page/campus-portal

Teachers also use our Big Board to communicate upcoming projects, assessments, and performances. The Big Board is available for your viewing here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AJ1FGSC6IVYMNOxWCg9_7WX82HqfaIcigZJe6NFOhUk/edit?usp=sharing

If you have any questions about your student's learning, you can always reach out to individual teachers.

Every year, Seniors at FHS have the opportunity to apply for over $250,000 in scholarships that are open just for Fairfield Students.

Seniors have met with the Counselor's about accessing scholarship applications through this website: https://www.fairfieldsfuture.org/o/fhs/page/scholarships. The Greater Jefferson County Foundation has a website where students can apply for 12 scholarships all at once. In addition, the Greater Jefferson County Foundation has another 11 scholarships available requiring paper applications be filled out in order to apply. All Jefferson County Foundation Scholarships are due February 1st by 4:00pm unless otherwise noted. Students also may apply for many available local scholarships.

These are all great examples of scholarships with varying amounts, eligibility criteria, and renewal options. Here's a brief breakdown:

1. Ralph Perry Scholarship

   • Award Amount: $5,000
   • Eligibility: Awarded to 6 seniors each year.
   • Renewable: No mention of renewal, so likely a one-time award.
   • Focus: General academic achievement or specific eligibility not mentioned.

2. Thomas & Violet Brown Scholarship

   • Award Amount: $6,500 per year
   • Renewable: Yes, for up to 4 years of college.

3. Millane Endowment Scholarship

• Award Amount: $1,000 (1st year), $2,500 (2nd year), $5,000 (3rd year), $7,500 (4th year)

These scholarships serve a wide range of students, from those with strong academic achievements to those pursuing specific career fields, and they offer great financial support, especially the renewable ones that encourage long-term academic commitment.
