We are so proud of our former seniors! This select group of students celebrated the outstanding achievement of being chosen for the S.A.G.E. Award earlier in May.

We would like to thank Main & Madison for their generous donation of goodies to treat these families on such a special night!

The Daniel P. Mercer Award was established during the 2006-2007 school year at FCHS. The intent of this award is to honor seniors who consistently model the expectations of our schools and community and also exhibit daily personal choices that make a difference for other. These students, sometimes quietly, and without expectation of recognition truly Set a Good Example for fellow students, faculty and staff. Our S.A.G.E. Winners inspire through example every day. We believe the example Daniel set for the Grizzly Cub community deserves a place of ongoing recognition. Congratulations to those students who have shown how to set a good example every day to remind us all that we should treat every day as a day of opportunity.

Earlier this year, we started the Great Grizzly recognition to acknowledge students caught in the act of unexpected and unprompted kindness, generosity, or good citizenship. These are the kinds of acts we hope inspire other students to respond in kind or pay it forward.
While every Great Grizzly was given a small reward upon being noticed in these moments, we were excited to hold a raffle for our Great Grizzly recipients to show them how much we appreciate their kindheartedness. Congrats to our winners!
