Principal's Message - 12/8/19

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 to Zeke Matthews
Congratulations to Forbush senior Zeke Matthews. Zeke was selected to compete at the Rick Hendrick Engine Build Student Showdown recently. Due to his high exam scores and accomplishments at other competitions, Zeke was one of only 16 students in the state selected for this competition. At the competition, Zeke and his team finished in first place, beating the second place team by over five minutes! Congratulations to Zeke and his auto service teacher, Keith Senter.

Students, if you have more than 8 unexcused absences this semester, you are in violation of the attendance policy and risk losing credit for some or all of your courses.
