Principal's Message - 1/13/19

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.

Shore Scholars Programs

Students, there is a new scholarship opportunity available for current sophomores and juniors. The Shore Scholars program will begin next fall and students may apply in the Student Services office. The program is no cost to the student and financial assistance of up to $1,200 a year is available. The program also provides each student with a mentor within a peer cohort. If you have at least a 3.0 GPA and are seeking college or career training for after high school, see your counselor for an application in the Student Services office.

Student-Owned Devices

Students, if you are now bringing your own device to school and have not yet seen Mrs. Frazier to have its MAC address registered, please do so this week. There are changes coming to our networks and we want to be sure you will be able to access the internet following those changes.
