Mighty, Brave & Bold Student Nominated Awards!
Beginning on October 1st, FHS is rolling out a new opportunity for our Viking students to recognize their peers called the Mighty, Brave & Bold Student of the Month Awards. This student-driven monthly award celebrates Fremd High School students who make a positive impact by embodying our core values:
BE MIGHTY: Vikings who overcome obstacles or empower their peers to do the same.
BE BRAVE: Vikings who do what is right, or help others to do what is right, even though it might be hard.
BE BOLD: Vikings who take risks and go outside their comfort zones or help others do the same.
By honoring these role models, we aim to promote a school culture of respect, courage, and excellence, as we hope to help all students feel seen, supported, celebrated and valued. Please encourage students to submit nominations for their peers when they see someone being MIGHTY, BRAVE or BOLD.
If you have any questions, please email Mr. Ferrell in the Intervention Office.
Student Publications
Fremd offers a variety of opportunities to showcase our students through student publications. Please take a peek at the following student-led publications.
