Fairfield Community High School

Mr. Book’s Integrated Science class had a big day today! First hour kicked things off with Braxton Dunn and Noah Ginther setting a new tower competition record at 340 pounds. Then Kenley Devoy, Jesse Simpson, and Addy King in second hour stepped in and raised the bar even higher, breaking the fresh record with a tower that held 375 pounds!

Two records in one day… not too shabby!

Hey Lady Mules Fans!

Our Lady Mules Basketball team is gearing up for an incredible season, and we need your help!

We are raising funds for travel gear, snacks, summer shootouts, and post-game snacks to keep our team focused and fueled! Every donation -big or small- makes a real difference to this team and gives them the support they deserve.

Starting Nov 22, you will begin hearing from the Lady Mules, receiving a text from moneydolly, and a phone call informing you of how you can donate to these amazing young ladies and help them hit their goals. We will also provide you with a link that you will be able to use for donations. Cash donations will also be accepted! Once you have donated, we will remove you from receiving the reminder text.
