Spring Break: Friday, March 13th through Friday, March 20th

Fort Scott High School performs the play Clue (H.S. Edition) at seven o'clock this Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights!

“It’s a dark and stormy night, and we’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep the audience guessing until the final twist!

The show features FSHS Seniors Levi Fairchild as Wadsworth the Butler, Sypher Cannon as Mrs. White and Grace Walker as Miss Scarlet; juniors Landon Hill as Professor Plum and Ava Johnson as Mrs. Peacock; and sophomores Theodore Bowman as Mr. Green, Gianna Gorman as Yvette the maid, and Tray Maloun as Colonel Mustard.

Clue is adapted from the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn and written by Sandy Rustin, with additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price. Parental guidance is suggested as the play includes simulated use of weapons and smoking.

Tickets are reserved seating and are $8 for adults and $6 for youth. Tickets are available at fortscotthighschool.ludus.com or at the door. Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime.

Clue (H.S. Edition) is directed by FSHS Theatre Director Angie Bin with Mesa Jones as Assistant Director and Jericho Jones as Sound Designer.

Honor Flight is a national organization with one clear mission: to thank and celebrate our nation’s veterans by giving them the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials that were built in their honor.

Our focus is on Bourbon County veterans and surrounding communities, especially those who served between 1941 and 1975, including WWII, Korean War and Vietnam eras. Many of these men and women never had the opportunity to see these memorials or hear the words “thank you” in the way they deserved.

The Fort Scott Flight of Honor is affiliated with the Parsons, Chetopa, St. Paul Honor Flight hub.

Not only are we sending veterans on this journey, but we’re also involving our youth by selecting high school students to serve as guardians for each veteran. These students don’t just help with logistics and support, they walk beside history. They listen, they learn and they return home forever changed.

It’s a living history lesson. It’s a gesture of gratitude. it’s a powerful bridge between generations.

The student guardians undergo training and preparation to be sure they’re ready for the responsibility and privilege of this role. They hear the stories of sacrifice, witness the emotional power of the memorials and often form lasting bonds with the veterans they accompany. The impact on these young people is profound. Guardian applications for next year's Honor Flight Mission will be sent to students in August.

Fort Scott Flight of Honor has an event coming up: "Come Fly With Us" Gala. All proceeds from this event will go towards our 2027 mission. Please consider attending and supporting this cause.

Congratulations to our 2026 Winter Homecoming Candidates!
