Prom Queen and King Crowned

 

The 2008 Junior and Senior Prom was held on Saturday, May 3, 2008, at the Centennial Hall of Mt. Pleasant. One hundred thirty two students attended the event. The prom was combined with the junior-senior banquet this year to allow students extended hours for the prom celebration.

The King and Queen were crowned at 10:00 p.m. Congratulations to King Carson Zamarron and Queen Chelsea Litwiller. We are proud to have you on the Fulton Court.

 

Summer School Available

 

Students in grades 9-12 who failed required courses can attend summer school to regain the credit they missed. The Alternative Education program is offering students of the Fulton High School an opportunity to make up lost credits to assist them with graduating with their classmates. The only requirement is the student had to fail the course at the high school prior to taking the course in the summer program. If you have any questions on which courses will be accepted, please call Ms. Beadlescomb or Mr. Grifka at 236-7232. Registration for the summer school program can be completed by calling Mr. Phil Garcia at 236-5130.

 

End of Year Thank You

 

I want to thank my students and parents for a wonderful school year. There were some difficult times that each of us had to endure this school year, but together we overcame the issues and continued to make Fulton Schools a great place to learn. Your support from day one of my arrival was and is appreciated. This allowed me to feel welcome and to perform my job to the best of my abilities. As many of you know, my door is always open to discuss the policies and procedures of Fulton Schools. We may not always agree on them, but without your input I may not always perceive possible changes to current or future policies and procedures to improve the school system and your childŐs success. Together I know we can make a difference in your childŐs life.
