Falcons Got Talent

On March 23, FHHS STUGO will host a district talent show for the community. This K-12 event will offer talented acts from our local kids on the big stage. Auditions will take place at each site, and the main event will be in the main gym on March 23, from 6:00-9:00 pm.

DECA Conference

On Monday and Tuesday of next week, 10 students from BMAS and the DECA club are are representing Fountain Hills at the Arizona State DECA Career Conference being held in Tucson. This competition gives students a chance to show their college and career ready knowledge and skills. They are competing against over 2,000 students from around the state. Finalists from state will then be invited to compete at the DECA International Conference being held in Anaheim. Here they will go up against 12,000 students from around the world.

Students choose an event area like Finance, Marketing, Sales, or HR. They compete as individuals or as part of a two person team. The competition is made up of two parts - the results from an exam taken the week before the conference and their problem solving and presentation skills demonstrated during a role play at the conference.

The exam tests their subject matter knowledge in their chosen area. The role play tests their ability to think on their feet, problem solve and make an effective presentation. During the role play students are presented with a business problem they have never seen before. They are given exactly ten minutes to prepare a solution. They then have ten minutes to present their solution to a business professional acting as a judge. If their combined exam and role play score puts them in the top five for their event they will be invited to the International Conference.

Bruce Haseley's students have been working hard to prepare for this competition since December - taking practice exams, learning content for their area and being judged in mock role plays. At a district competition held at ASU in January we had four students receive medals - three in the exam portion (Kassandra Karp, Eric McGuire, Cooper Weisbach) and one for the role play portion (Tyler Giza). They were competing against 800 students.

Intergenerational Band Day

Intergenerational Band is a chance for FHUSD students to play alongside the Community Band members! Our students get to see and hear firsthand how music is for life! The Band will be represented by FHMS 8th Grade Band, FHHS Symphonic Band, and the FH Community Band. Each director will conduct a different piece that all groups will perform together. Each group will also perform a few songs on their own! Concert is free (donations accepted) and will be held at the FHMS gym on Friday March 3 at 7:00pm. Hope to see you there! The Hills ARE alive with the sound of music!
