Attention FCHS Students & Parents!
School will be here before we know it and FCHS is attempting something new! For this school year, we are attempting to offer an in-town bus route for students who live within the city limits! It has been many years since FCHS has provided this, so we are asking for your help! We would like any parent/guardian who lives within city limits and might be interested in having their student ride the bus to contact our guidance department. We are trying to get an early indication of the number of students we can serve and where they are located for routing purposes.
