Attention Polar Bear Nation: We are thankful to the Fairmont FD and Fairmont PD for clearing up the situation on Outlook above FSHS.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: We are transitioning to a semi-normal routine for the remainder of the day. As the issue being dealt with is on the start of the back drive, we are allowing class transitions inside the main building and between buildings with NO ACCESS TO THE BACK DRIVE. We are in constant contact with fire and police in managing the situation. Should we have this situation at dismisal, we will communicate instructions at that time. Again, please do not come to the school along the back drive until further notice. Everyone is safe and secure at FSHS. Thank you

Check this out! What a difference! In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the main building's construction, as well as just for a general spring cleaning, we had 304 SoftWash clean up the sidewalks and stonework on the main building. Cam was great to work with, very professional and works very quickly. So if you need anything powerwashed, please consider 304softwash.com and contact Cam today.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: Starting tomorrow morning we are having the stonework on the main building as well as sidewalks power washed. This means building use and access will be limited by the work crew. Hopefully, if all goes well, power washing will be complete by Friday evening. Seniors may want to wait until Saturday if you are taking pictures.
