Principal's Message - 4/29/18

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

As I mentioned last week, Zach Morris, recently placed 1st in the state in the Skills USA competition in Motorcycle Technology. In addition to Morris, five other Falcons finished in the top 5 of their respective categories, including Alesha Milholland, Athan Wilson, Chris Geiger, Lucas Fletcher, and Zeke Matthews. Congratulations to Forbush SkillsUSA!

Congratulations to Matt Wilhelm and Lance Kennedy, who won the conference doubles championship last week in men’s tennis. Wilhelm was also named conference player of the year. Seth Anderson, Peyton Eldridge, and Jaedan Gage were named honorable mention all-conference.

The men’s golf team just finished up their regular season, finishing as conference champions for the regular season and conference tournament. Carson Davis, Corey Williams, Sinjun Southard, Cole Hinkle, and Jacob Thompson were named all-conference, while Eddie Papsun was named all-conference honorable mention and Matt Pruitt was named conference coach of the year.

Congratulations to Anna Kathryn Kilby, who recently won the Charlie Adams Endowed Scholarship through the North Carolina High School Athletic Association. This scholarship is worth $1,500 and Kilby is one of only two athletes in the state to win this award.
