Dear Parents and Students:

On behalf of the faculty and staff, I would like to welcome you to Fort Campbell High School. Our school has a proud history of academic excellence and co-curricular accomplishments. We hope this school year will be enjoyable for you and look forward to making it a year that is educationally profitable. We look forward to assisting you in fulfilling your educational goals. Our expectations are for you to meet the goals which have been set, to carry on the “Falcon” tradition, and to make this a better school because of your presence. Parental support is vital and, with your help, the 2007-2008 school year will be our very best.

I look forward to working with and assisting each of you in every learning experience. The administration, faculty, and staff are dedicated to quality education for all of our high school students, and we are sustained in this ideal by support from our parents and community. Many opportunities are available here to help students develop their interests and abilities. These many student services complement the teaching of knowledge and skills, while allowing all of our students the chance to become informed, responsible, and contributing members of society. A wide range of programs is offered to expand the students’ physical, cultural, and intellectual development. We also realize the importance of developing in each student an attitude of self-respect and self-worth, while providing opportunities for students to form meaningful and responsible relationships.

This handbook has been prepared to provide both students and parents information concerning our school policies and procedures. Please read this handbook carefully and keep it available for reference during the school year. We invite our parents to visit us during the school day. Stop by and have lunch with your child and attend several of his or her classes. The foundation of an effective high school is the partnership between dedicated educators and caring parents. We are here to make your years at FCHS successful, yet educationally challenging. We welcome the opportunity to help our students as you proceed through your high school career. We look forward to a very successful year.

Sincerely,

Walt Coulter

Assistant Principal
