FHS - On the Plus Side

The Framingham Athletic Department, students, student-athletes, and coaches came together Thursday night to support our athletic trainer, Victoria, as she continues her fight against leukemia. Football players, managers, cheerleaders, and coaches wore orange to remind her that the Flyers will always have her back.

It was also a big night on the field, as the Flyers improved to 4-3 with a 50-29 win at Bowditch Field. Senior Nick Duarte led the way with 296 rushing yards and six touchdowns, while also throwing for another score.

A special night of community, strength, and Flyer pride.

Ms. Campbell and Prof. Brellas hosted a Food Expo for the Framingham State Cultural Anthropology class, where students shared and presented their cultural recipe projects.

The event gave students an opportunity to explore culture, tradition, and identity through food while learning from one another’s experiences and backgrounds.

With the help of summer interns, the FHS Library team created and organized an archive of historical photographs, books, newspapers, and other materials documenting the history of Framingham High School.

The catalog of archival materials and yearbooks is now available on the FHS Library website: https://fhs.framingham.k12.ma.us/56465_3

A great resource for exploring and preserving the history of FHS!

Students in Honors Biology rotated through five hands-on stations to investigate the unique properties of water.

On Monday, students interested in architecture and construction attended a STEM event at Suffolk Construction, where they heard from industry professionals about their careers and the future of the field.
