Fairmont Senior High School

Attention Polar Bear Nation: This post is a little different than normal. We are in need of companies to bid on the repair of the front stone gates down on Oakwood Road. We were the victim of a hit and run early this month and insurance needs to have someone to fix it. Please email james dot green at k12.wv.us by Wednesday, November 27 with a quote to fix the gate. Obviously it needs to be an exact match to the undamaged gate. We have the stonework that was knocked off to be used. Thank you and Go Bears!

Attention Polar Bear Nation: In case you missed it Friday night at the East-West Game, Fairmont Senior was able to recognize those members of the senior class that scored above 1100, 1200 & 1300 on the SAT School Day from April 2024! Congrats to those 36 students who achieved so well on the SAT! Let's Go Bears!

Attention Polar Bear Nation: You may see a large police presence today at the FSHS campus as our partners in the Marion County Sheriffs Dept will be conducting some SRT/SWAT training in our buildings.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: With the big homecoming game this Friday, please be reminded of the MCS policy of students/children under high school age requiring an adult for entry. Due to unruliness, children need to be with an adult that will be responsible for them, and not a random person walking into the stadium. Additionally, we will not accept 1 coach bringing in large teams and then letting them loose around the stadium. We are also enforcing the no backpack policy for everyone's safety. DO NOT DROP YOUR ELEMENTARY OR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT OFF WITHOUT SUPERVISION. Thank you and Go Bears!
