Unfortunately, most FHE students do not know that FHPS has a robotics team, much less what the team itself does. “The organization FIRST which holds the competition releases a demonstrative video and how-to-play manual of a ‘game’ in the first week…

Imagine yourself picking up a cup and taking a drink out of it. What do you taste – bitter, sweet, or both? In the daily sips, there is a constant debate about whether to be sweetened or unsweetened.

Friday morning, 900 Meijer donuts were distributed among first-hour classes to celebrate FHE’s stunning SAT scores the past Spring, which were top-ten in the state. This surely made for more cheerful students and teachers the rest of the day. English teacher Mrs. Barnes says, “My…
