Principal's Message - 5/7/17

Good evening, this is Mr. Kennedy, principal of Forbush High School. I have a few announcements and updates I would like to share with you this evening.

Congratulations to Clubs and Athletic Teams

I want to begin this evening by saying congratulations to several of our clubs and athletic teams.

Congratulations to our Hunter Safety team on a great performance at the State Competition. Emry Wingler finished in 1st place overall while Jordan Yale finished in 3rd place overall. Also, our Red Team finished in 2nd place overall and our Blue Team finished in 4th place in Shotgun.

I also want to say a big thank you to everyone involved in the HOSA Blood Drive a couple weeks ago. Forbush collected 142 units of blood this year. Thank you to Mrs. Sloan and to all of our HOSA members.

The Forbush Men's Golf Team qualified for the state finals in back-to-back seasons! This is the 6th team in school history to play for a state championship. Individually, Carson Davis lead the Falcons with a 78 which was good enough for third place out of 82 golfers.

Finally, congratulations to our men’s and women’s track team for their recent performance at the conference championship meet. Our men’s team finished third and our women’s team won the conference title. Congratulations to all of our track and field athletes and best of luck at the upcoming Regional competition!
