High School (9-12)

Dear Otter Parents and Students,

It is with great pleasure that I serve the Fergus Falls High School and community as the principal. It is an honor to lead the school with a history of success in academics, athletics, and fine arts. True growth and development come when you purposefully develop deep relationships with students, staff, parents, and your community. Our goal is to make sure that ALL voices are heard which then enables our leaders within our high school to make the right decisions for our students and community to grow and develop into great leaders themselves. The focus for FFHS is to make sure we develop a well rounded student who has had multiple opportunities to develop a sense of community, career and college pathway, and exposure off campus in job shadowing which will enable students to make the right choices for their future after high school. As a learning community, we are committed to providing each and every student a rigorous education that challenges them to be their best selves today, tomorrow, and in their future. Together we are better, and the more opportunities we can involve the whole Fergus Falls community, the better we will be as a school.

IT IS ALWAYS A GREAT DAY TO BE AN OTTER!!!

Mark Anderson

Fergus Falls High School Principal

Mrs. Thielke's junior and senior Creative Writing students partnered with first graders in Mrs. Herzog's class at Adams School, learning what the first graders think high school is like, and using that input to write personalized stories with the first graders at the main character.

After a few visits, the writings were complete! Mrs. Herzog's students visited the high school for root beer floats and to receive their stories.

This was a Project Based Learning (PBL) opportunity for the high school and first grade students.

After the 7 Rivers Regional last week just across the border into Wisconsin, the OtterBots remain ranked 20th (out of 190 teams) in the state of Minnesota.

Today begins the two Twin Cities Regionals, at Williams Arena and Mariucci Arena. The team will know by Sunday if the OtterBots qualify for the MSHSL championship by Sunday or Monday next week. (The top 36 teams at the end of Regional competition continue on to the championships.)

GOOD LUCK TODAY, OTTERBOTS!!

The OtterBots are coached by Bill Swanson.

KSS High School students came through yet again for the Fergus Falls Area Food Shelf! Last Monday, Student Council members were able to deliver 988 pounds of food and $210 to the food shelf.

They see over 45 cars a day come through their lot to pick up needed food and supplies for local families. Our students rose to the challenge and helped to make a positive impact in our community! THANK YOU!

Since the beginning of the semester, the Nursing Assistant students are preparing for clinical practice by becoming proficient in skills. Some of the skills include taking vital signs, personal care skills such as nail care and oral hygiene, and caring for individuals who may have visual impairments.

A classroom guest, Lauren Eliason, State Services for the Blind, brought blind-simulation goggles for a hands-on experience with visual loss.

The students will be starting clinical this week!
