Outsiders day was a total success! 🔥
Our 8th graders showed up ready to rumble (peacefully, of course) as Greasers and Socs to celebrate S. E. Hinton’s classic The Outsiders. From leather jackets and slicked hair to preppy polos and perfect smiles — the vibes were strong and the energy was even stronger.
Huge thank you to all the parents who helped make today special. You are the real MVPs! 💚
Stay gold, Eagles. ✨
Our 4th and 5th graders learned about the meaning behind Hispanic Heritage Month and the traditions of Hispanic culture from our guest speakers, hosted by the FHSA Culture Committee. Students asked very thoughtful questions and gained insightful information!

Middle School Tennis Club
Did you know that Central, Southwest, Parkview, and West High Schools all have a tennis team? Get your student ready now by joining the new Middle School Tennis Club! We will kick off the club on Wednesday, October 21st, and do 5 weeks of training at Rebsamen Tennis Center. We will then break for winter and pick back up in the Spring to compete in matches against local teams. Since this is a club, families will be responsible for transporting their student to and from practices and matches.
