Principal's Message - 3/3/19

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.

Women's Basketball

I would like to congratulate our Forbush women’s basketball team on their victory over Wilkes Central yesterday in the third round of the 2A State Playoffs. The Lady Falcons will now travel to Salisbury this Tuesday to face the Hornets in the Western Regional Semifinals.

Forbush Wrestling - Eli Thomas

I want to wish congratulations to Forbush wrestler Eli Thomas for his recent performance at the state wrestling championships in Greensboro. Eli wrestled four incredible matches and made it all the way to the championship match. While Eli did not win the title match, he is one of only ten wrestlers in Forbush history to make it to the championship, having finished second in the state in his weight class. Congratulations to Eli on an incredible season!
