FHU students will be attending the 4th Annual Career Fair at Fair Haven Union Middle & High School on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 9am to 11:30am. The goal has always been to provide our students with opportunities that they may not have otherwise realized as well as to introduce them to fields that they may never have considered.

Last year we had 47 companies RSVP for our career fair. This year we are hoping to surpass our vendor attendance and reach 50 companies!

We are excited to be entering into the "Art Show Season"! Please come see the multiple talents our FHU students possess!

Congressional Art Show: Send out confirmation of participation on March 14th, at the latest. Artwork will be delivered to pick-up sites throughout the state from March 24th - April 11th, and the Awards Ceremony will be on May 9th at The Chandler in Randolph, VT. This would be a field trip day for all students participating. We are sending five students: two high schoolers and three middle schoolers.
