Principal's Message - 4/22/18

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.

Student Accomplishments

I want to begin this evening by congratulating our Theatre department on an excellent spring musical this past weekend. Congratulations to Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Roberts, and all of our Theatre students!

I also want to thank Mrs. Sloan, Ms. Carter, and all of our Health Science students for executing another great Blood Drive last week at Forbush High School.

Last but definitely not least… congratulations to senior Zach Morris, who placed 1st in the state in the Skills USA competition in Motorcycle Technology. Zach will now compete at the National level this summer. Forbush Skills had six students place in the top 5 in the state in their respective categories.
