- Concessions will be available inside the stadium.

🚨 Attention, Hungry Students! 🚨
We know… nothing hits like a hot, delicious food delivery in the middle of the school day. But unfortunately, FMHS has a strict NO FOOD DELIVERIES policy—meaning no DoorDash, no Uber Eats, no secret pizza drop-offs, and no drone-delivered burritos.
Why? Because our front office is a school, not a food court, and our staff is here to help with learning, not to play air traffic control for delivery drivers.
So, pack your lunch, enjoy the cafeteria options, or perfect your “trading skills” with your friends. Just don’t try to sneak in a sandwich unless you’re ready to explain to your assistant principal why your “group project” is suddenly from Chick-fil-A. 🍔🚫
Stay full, stay focused, and save the fast-food feasting for after school!
NO Personal Communication Devices During the School Day
The Texas Legislature passed HB 1481 in the 89th Legislative Session that prohibits the use of personal communication devices during the school day for all students.
Personal communication devices include smartphones, flip phones, smartwatches, tablets, radios, pagers, or any other device capable of telecommunications that was not issued by the District for instructional use.
Details:All students in all grades will be required to keep cell phones and personal communication devices silenced, out of sight, and stored in a backpack, locker, or purse, etc. from the time they arrive on campus until the dismissal bell. Devices may not be used at any time during the school day, including during passing periods, or lunch, while on school property.
