Welcome Back to School from the President of the Board of Education

August 29, 2023 Posted In: FHPS District News

Welcome! Welcome to a new school year and all of the hope and possibility a fresh start brings. I am so excited to have everyone here for the 2023-2024 school year. We have new kindergarteners excited to ride a yellow school bus and students graduating to new buildings and finding their way with the help of their friends. We also have new students to the district navigating their way around unfamiliar hallways with a mixture of nerves and anticipation of what a new school will bring, and new staff learning all the names and faces and what makes FHPS such a special place to be. Whether you are sending your first child into our buildings this year or you’re sending your last for their final year of high school, welcome to FHPS! FHPS is a wonderful community to live, work, learn, and grow, and we are glad you are here.

Sincerely,

Kristen Fauson, Ph.D.
President, FHPS Board of Education
