Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools and PTAs (including FMHS) that were pursuing the National PTA School of Excellence program during 2019-2020 have been automatically enrolled in the program for next year. We did receive a Certificate of Recognition from National PTA which can be viewed here : SOE Certificate148.

National PTA’s Reflections program has helped students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life. The theme for the 2019-2020 program year was “Look Within.” The theme for 2020-2021 will be “I Matter Because … ”
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
