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.

Forbush Hall of Fame

I want to begin this evening by thanking everyone who came out to Forbush this past Friday for our Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. It was a great evening to recognize eight individuals who have had such a positive impact on our school and our community. If you would like more information about our newest Hall of Fame inductees, please visit the Hall of Fame page on our school website.
