Outstanding job by Mrs. Carhuay and the Spanish Honor Society members during the Induction Ceremony on Friday. Congratulations to the newly inducted members. #ArmaduraArriba

Parents/Guardians: Your student has or will be emailing a copy of their YouScience results to you. Students completed a YouScience aptitude and interests assessment earlier this year and the results of their personal Strengths Profile has been sent to you. This Strengths Profile includes individual aptitudes. Aptitudes indicate the potential to excel at and enjoy certain activities. Unlike skills, knowledge or interests, which can be enhanced or changed, aptitudes remain stable. They show how your student's brain is wired. Additionally, you will find information on how each aptitude affects your child, along with how they may find things easy or difficult. This Strengths Profile also has tips for making the most of each at school, at work, and in social activities.

Juniors and families: The Guidance Office sent an email regarding a bus trip to The Ohio State University March 25. If you are an FFHS junior who is interested in touring the OSU campus please notify Mrs. Walsh. There are still spots open on the trip. The announcement is also available on the High School Facebook page.

Seniors received an email regarding a special announcement from the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation and their requirements for their scholarships and the delay in FAFSA reporting. The announcement is also available on the high school Facebook Page.

There characteristics are what will be required after graduation in college, military, or the work force.

Here is the full list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UZJMg7cznbj3rrHhrCq7sYy45rtHkxwQeKIF9p2TBCU/edit?usp=sharing

Congratulations to the SENIORS - CLASS OF 2024! Each 9 weeks, each class competes in 1) Attendance, 2) Discipline, and 3) GPA. For the 2nd 9 weeks in a row, the Seniors are the winning class. They were 1st in attendance with an overall class 98.21% attendance rate, had ZERO discipline the entire 9 weeks, and carried a 3.26 overall GPA. The Juniors won the GPA race with an overall 3.35 GPA and had an impressive 97.82 overall attendance rate, but the 2 total discipline events (which is still good), cost them the chance to catch the Seniors. Something of note are the classes with the 2 highest attendance rates had the 2 highest overall GPA's (and they are taking challenging classes).
