Hello Jaguar Alums and Friends- the FCHS Varsity Football Team won its first game last night vs Wakefield HS! The first offensive play of the game saw us score a 60+ yard touchdown! We won 34-21! Way to go Jags and continued future successes! Truly, Craig’77😊

Hey Jaguar Alums and Friends! If anyone is near (or better yet, in) Australia pls see our own Dianne Gramling Cripps ‘87!!!😉👍

Fresh in from the US of A, Dianne Cripps & Friends return for their signature Jazz & Blues Friday. Dianne, critically acclaimed powerhouse vocalist is joined by the equally sensational Rodric White on keys and mervstarbass on double bass.

Join us for fantastic food and swingin’ vibes!

Hello again Alums and Friends- What a privilege to see our Track Coach John Morris along with fellow Track/Field Teammate Gary Flather’76! Gary is gathering info for running a track meet next yr for SYA… Southwestern Youth Association (founded in 1973). He is the CEO of SYA and has poured himself into the youth via this well-respected community entity! Way to go Jaguar!!

John Morris is THE ultimate knowledge guru re Track/Field in Nova as well as the Region! Over 50 years…and going strong! Gary was a star performer in the winning of the 1976 Potomac District Spring Track meet. I’d forgotten the neat coincidence that we scored 76 points in the year 1976! I contributed a little from the Shot put but Gary had 7 events and contributed a lot of points! You could say he was an early Carmen Mann ‘86!😊 Go John Morris and Go Jags!! Truly, Craig’77☺️
