Good evening, this is Dr. Kennedy, principal of Forbush High School. I hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend. I have a few announcements and updates I would like to share with you this evening.

Congratulations

I want to congratulate our women’s tennis team on winning the conference championship last week. Our Falcons finished the regular season with an undefeated conference record, winning their first conference title since 1976. Forbush begins postseason play in the coming weeks.
