In recognition of National School Resource Officer Day, FCMS would love to send an enormous shout out to our very own, Officer Teresa Ferguson! Officer Ferguson’s #1 priority every day is the safety and welfare of every person in our building, and we love and respect her so much for that. Along with that, she understands that our students need someone who also cares beyond the mistakes that people sometimes make, and she is always available for guidance, practical advice, and a listening ear. She always conducts herself with incredible dignity, and she is fun-loving and so easy to enjoy. She is a treasured gift to our school, and today we want to say thank you, Officer Ferguson!
FCMS owes a huge debt of gratitude to Belinda Churchill, one of our mentors and partners! Today she provided our staff with a full Chick Fila breakfast, along with donuts, drinks, many other snacks. It was a delicious way for us to start our day, and we are all very grateful! #CougarsLEAD

FCMS hosted its second annual Black History Month celebration today! We were graced with the gift of beautiful poetry and singing, and several incredible speakers. The keynote address was given by our own Dr. Dinetha Salmon, whose words penetrated every soul in attendance and elicited great adoration and reverence from our students. It was a morning that evoked powerful memories from the past, admiration for those of today, and great hope for tomorrow.
FCMS was incredibly honored to be visited by a number of distinguished graduates from the original Florence Chapel High School this morning during our Black History Month celebration! Their presence brought so much dignity and poignancy to our ceremony, and it was great for our students and staff to be together with them.
FCMS was super excited to have our own nurse, Dr. Susan Duggar, speak to our AVID and careers classes about nursing and the field of medicine today! It was great to have someone who is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable sharing with our people. Much appreciated, Dr. Duggar!
Congratulations to the Coach Ian Beckett and the FCMS 7th grade basketball team for the amazing season they had this year! Well done! 🏀🏀🏀
Mr. Ebaugh’s students dissected owl pellets, looking to discover what an owl pellet can tell us about an owl’s diet and how this information can be used to develop part of a food web. 🦉💩
