Attention Senior Polar Bears: Graduation is Saturday, May 27 @ 7:00pm. This event is set up very similarly to a home football game. Handicap parking is along Virginia Ave, and the handicap seating entrance is under the press box. Lower 12th Street will be reserved parking only (as usual). No tickets are needed for graduation. We will proceed with the ceremony if raining, but please don't block others' view with canopies or huge umbrellas. See you at 7:00pm!

We are very proud to announce that senior Salvatore Marino has obtained the Seal of Biliteracy in Italian, which is a first for Marion County. He has diligently worked for years on mastering his Italian. World language teacher and a member of the WVFLTA, Mrs. Battaglia, is very proud of this accomplishment.

Attention Polar Bear Seniors: We are allowing you to keep your Chromebook after you graduate next weekend. If you DO NOT want to keep the Chromebook, please have it scanned back in to the library with Mrs. Parker ASAP. Thank you and GO BEARS!

Attention FSHS Seniors: Senior recognition is Tuesday, March 16 @ 8:00am. As this is a very special occasion, you will be required to wear your cap & gown for the ceremony.

We have been made aware of a social media hoax on FSHS through snap chat. The WV Fusion Center put out an alert to this sort of thing happening on social media sites and then being taken down immediately after posting. City PD and Sheriff Riffle are aware as well as their SROs. There will be increased patrols around the schools in the county last night and today. There is no credible threat to FSHS at this time. Kettering Fairmont HS in Dayton, OH is where the threat came from, not Fairmont Senior High School in Fairmont, WV

Attention Polar Bear Seniors: Final exams have been moved. Senior finals are now on Monday, May 22nd. Make up final exams will be on Tuesday, May 23rd.

On April 25, select FSHS students participated in "Mad City Money", a 3 hour simulation where participants performed in a "real life" budgeting exercise supported by local businesses. Thank you to Stacey Harvey at Fairmont Federal Credit Union for leading Mad City Money at Fairmont Senior.

Time to celebrate! Fairmont Senior High School has met the 2023 statewide FAFSA completion goal of 60 percent! This means that 60% of the senior class has plans to attend college after graduation. Congratulations Seniors! To file the FAFSA, visit FAFSA.gov. #CollegeBoundWV

Attention FSHS Students: With the retirement of Mr. Costelac, we are only able to offer 1 period of Drivers Education for the 2023-24 school year. This class will be open to 24 randomly selected students who express their interest in taking the class by completing the Google Form in your PAWS Google classroom. Please pay attention to the timeline listed on the Google Form. · A reminder that this is a half credit class with a driving lab that will pull you from another class regularly during your classroom semester of Drivers Education. The other half credit will be Safety & First Aid. · If you are unable to fit the period where the Drivers Education class is offered into your schedule, we will move the next available randomly selected student. · You must have a valid WV learners permit to participate in the class. You will be asked to provide proof at the beginning of the semester of your scheduled Drivers Education class.

Attention Polar Bears: If you are interested in Information Systems Management (ISM), Fairmont State has an opportunity for you to explore that area on Thursday, May 11. You must register through the link on the attached letter by Wednesday, May 3. This is a great opportunity for our students (preferably Sophomores and Juniors) to experience FSU and the Information System Management pathway and how that can lead into career opportunities. All participants will receive a SOAR Scholarship toward future enrollment as a full-time student at FSU.

Congratulations to Sara Jo Martin for her acceptance to the West Virginia Governor's School of the Arts. She was accepted into the WVGSA for Theatre/Acting, and will be going to Marshall University for three weeks this summer.
