The Director's Cut: A Great Week to be a Fairfield High Falcon

This past week Fairfield High had some very memorable moments. It was a great week to be a FALCON.

On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday we had our WASC visit. Tuesday afternoon the WASC committee shared an exceptional report for Fairfield High. We are making progress towards all of our action goals and working closer to achieving our over goal of graduating all students and ensuring they are prepared for college and career.

Wednesday evening, our very own Shari Patterson, was named Solano County Teacher of the Year. Shari now holds the following titles: 2015 Fairfield High Teacher of the Year, 2015 Fairfield-Suisun Unified District Teacher of the Year, and 2015 Solano County Teacher of the Year. Shari now goes on to compete to potentially be named as California State Teacher of the Year. Shari is an exceptional educator and continues to make huge impacts on both our students and staff. Congratulations, Shari!!

Thursday at lunch marked day one of the First Annual 3 vs. 3 intramural soccer tournament. Teacher, Steve Duncan, worked hard to create the roster and mark off the soccer field on our quad. The quad was packed at lunch with students cheering their friends on. This tournament continues at lunch for the next few weeks.

Thursday afternoon was our Third Annual Let's Make a Deal Assembly. Over 700 students were recognized and rewarded for the academic and character traits. Students received prizes that had been donated by staff and local businesses. This is one more step in reinforcing the academic and character traits as we continue to build our Culture of Universal Achievement, a fundamental pillar of what it means to be a No Excuses University school.
