AUGUST 19th marks the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL for (most) Fayetteville Public Schools. On that day, Fayetteville High School will enter it’s 57th year of service to our community. Throughout that time thousands of students walked those halls, learned in those classrooms, and graduated with an excellent education.

Now, 57 years after it first opened, we have the opportunity to continue the excellence of Fayetteville High School by building a 21st Century learning center to provide our children with the technology and skills they need to be successful today and the adaptability to provide the same for decades to come.

As summer slows down, and school speeds up, now is the time to encourage everyone you know to vote FOR A+ Stronger Fayetteville!
