Increased Security at Falcon HS Increased security measures are taking place at Falcon High School. As a result of the passing of the November Bond measure in 2015, Falcon HS has installed an additional security check point in our main entrance, heightening the level of student and staff safety in the building. Part of this bond was to enhance safety and security on campus. The entry was installed over October break. This entry gives the Falcon HS security department additional control on visitor building entry.

Falcon High School Homecoming

School spirit was in the air when Falcon High School kicked off homecoming festivities Oct. 11. The activities started with a first-ever parade from Eastonville Road to Londonderry Drive, and ended with a carnival and food trucks at the school.

“Homecoming is a time to celebrate Falcon High School’s rich tradition and heritage,” shared Nathan Truex, assistant principal. “Our inaugural homecoming parade allowed Falcon Zone schools to show their Falcon pride.”

After the excitement with games and culinary novelties, students, staff and parents filled the stands for the football game against the Harrison High School Panthers. The Panthers struck first with a touchdown, and the Falcons responded with a field goal. Heading into halftime, FHS was down 13-3.

The halftime break showcased a first-class homecoming ceremony. Despite chilly temperatures, candidates for homecoming royalty arrived at the stadium in open-air corvettes. Seniors Creighton Werner and Alexis Tix were crowned homecoming king and queen. Homecoming festivities concluded with a fireworks show that wowed the crowd!

A message from our new Senior Counselor

Greetings FHS Families,

I am delighted to announce that I have joined the Counseling Department as the new Senior Counselor. I love working with Seniors! I've hit the ground running and am enjoying getting to know our Senior Class. I have to say; they seem to be a pretty awesome group of young adults!

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns that I can assist you with. As you're already aware, Senior Year is a busy time. I have already started meeting with Seniors to help with postsecondary planning. I think we're off to a great start!

You can reach me by email, [email protected], or by phone, 719-495-5541. I look forward to partnering with you, as your student wraps up their final year of high school.
