The Alumni Association of FHS, Inc., will be presenting the 2026 Alumni Awards to the Class of 2026, at its Annual Meeting.

Lodging Information – Despite Maryellen’s efforts, she has had challenges with obtaining a group rate, and has had no luck negotiating a decent rate from any of the local hotels. She mentioned she can do better booking on her own. So as not to delay anyone's plans, she will be emailing those who reached out to her to let them know that her attempts have been a bust. She will share with them a few booking pointers and hope for the best. She is disappointed that local businesses do not want to support the return of former residents who would be coming to town and spending some money.
