Fairmont Senior High School

We have been made aware of a social media hoax on FSHS through snap chat. The WV Fusion Center put out an alert to this sort of thing happening on social media sites and then being taken down immediately after posting. City PD and Sheriff Riffle are aware as well as their SROs. There will be increased patrols around the schools in the county last night and today. There is no credible threat to FSHS at this time. Kettering Fairmont HS in Dayton, OH is where the threat came from, not Fairmont Senior High School in Fairmont, WV

Attention Polar Bear Seniors: Final exams have been moved. Senior finals are now on Monday, May 22nd. Make up final exams will be on Tuesday, May 23rd.

On April 25, select FSHS students participated in "Mad City Money", a 3 hour simulation where participants performed in a "real life" budgeting exercise supported by local businesses. Thank you to Stacey Harvey at Fairmont Federal Credit Union for leading Mad City Money at Fairmont Senior.

Attention FSHS Students: With the retirement of Mr. Costelac, we are only able to offer 1 period of Drivers Education for the 2023-24 school year. This class will be open to 24 randomly selected students who express their interest in taking the class by completing the Google Form in your PAWS Google classroom. Please pay attention to the timeline listed on the Google Form. · A reminder that this is a half credit class with a driving lab that will pull you from another class regularly during your classroom semester of Drivers Education. The other half credit will be Safety & First Aid. · If you are unable to fit the period where the Drivers Education class is offered into your schedule, we will move the next available randomly selected student. · You must have a valid WV learners permit to participate in the class. You will be asked to provide proof at the beginning of the semester of your scheduled Drivers Education class.
