FCHS 75th birthday
ornanments available
Fayette County High School will turn 75 years old this year.
To commemorate the school’s birthday, the Tiger Import/Export Group
is selling Fayette County High School ornaments for $5. These ornaments
are made of brass and depict the school emblem.
They may be purchased at any of the home football games at Fayette County
High School, or from any student who is taking applied communications
from TIG sponsor Paula Anderson.
Proceeds from the ornament sales will help offset the cost of hosting
students from Scotland who will be visiting TIG students this spring.
A committee of teachers and alumni is planning a gala during homecoming
weekend to commemorate the school’s birthday. During this weekend,
a representative from the Georgia Department of Education will visit Fayette
County High School to formally present the school with a certificate which
establishes it as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.
TIG is affiliated with Achievers International Georgia, an organization
that matches schools in Georgia with those in the United Kingdom, Europe
and Africa.
The two school groups form trading companies, then host students from
their partner school, usually in the spring of the year.
The Fayette County High students are partnered with Doon Academy in Dalmellington,
Scotland.
Fayette students have visited Doon the past two years and hosted 15 students
and two teachers from Doon last year. Teachers report the visits have
provided students an excellent learning experience in economics, history,
communication skills, social and technical skills.
