Principal's Message - 4/21/19

Good evening, this is Mr. Kennedy, principal of Forbush High School. I hope that everyone had a restful Spring Break. I have a few announcements and updates I would like to share with you this evening.

Only 20 Instructional Days Remaining

Also, please visit your teachers during their morning office hours if you need any additional help in any of your classes. Spring semester exams begin May 20.

Student Accomplishments
Congratulations to the Forbush FFA Cattle Working Team on their 2nd place finish at the recent State Cattle Working Competition. Team members include: Eli Thomas, Sarah Hutchens, and Wesley Ratledge. Congratulations to these students and FFA Advisor Jarret Elliott.

I also want to give a shout out to Senora Helton, Mrs. Matthews, Mrs. Beuter, Mrs. Frazier, and all of the Forbush faculty who helped make our 2019 Prom another huge success. Thank you to all the students who attended; we hope that everyone enjoyed the evening and made some lifelong memories at this year’s Prom.
