The Secrets of FHN

1. Student of the weekgreenhouse_web_copy

This is an award given regularly at North. Sponsored by Knights of Excellence, teachers can nominate students for this award. Although there are no specific requirements, teachers base their decisions off several things including attendance, willing to work and improve, or even helping out another student. Each month, a different department picks the students.

“The teachers can nominate at any time throughout the year if they come across a very deserving student,” KOE sponsor Kristen Johnson said.

2. Announcer

A common high school activity is the Friday night football games. Although many students know some of the players, few know the voice who spectators hear in the stands. The announcer for the past season was a man named Greg Damon. In addition to announcing the football games, Damon also has a radio show on KMOX about car mechanics.Damon will also be announcing the basketball games this season.

3. THE GREENHOUSE

Located in the west wing of the school is a greenhouse. Several teachers, including science teacher Zachary Kling, think it’s a neat part of the school. Due to lack of ventilation, the greenhouse can only be used for storage.

“I wish it could be used more,” Kling said. “The problem is that you can’t grow anything. Things would fry in the summertime and freeze in the winter.”

4. Recycling

Much like other schools around the nation, FHSD encourages recycling. This year, Dan Lamb’s students are in charge of emptying the full recycling bins about two times each week for each teacher.The Special Education department uses the money gained from this recycling collection toward funding for various activities they do and other necesities throughout the year in their department.

5. StuCo closet

Several clubs at North have a home base, or a place they specifically meet. The student council at North has a place known commonly known as the StuCo closet or StuCo Office. This is located Shelly Parks’ room which is in room 133 in the butterfly hall. This is where StuCo keeps decorations and food for dances like homecoming. Several student council members also choose to keep their belongings in there for the day.
