FHS students had a great time on their recent field trip to CMU’s Fire Up for English event with Mrs. Krygier and Mrs. Howson. They participated in lessons from college professors on literature, poetry, and creative writing. They learned about the various career opportunities using an English degree, and some shared an original piece in front of the English department. At the end of the day, they enjoyed a special performance by the band Daryl and the Beans. They even ran into an FHS alumni, Matthew Hayes, who is thriving in his CMU experience!
