One of my favorite evenings of the year happened this week. So proud of the work of the FHS CTE Department Staff and the amazing accomplishments of our students this year. @FerndaleSD_WA @waOSPI_CTE #YouBelong

Last night was filled w/smiles & highlights at our CTE Advisory Board meeting. Dinner prepared by our culinary arts students, while others shared the personal impact of their pathway. 66 CTE courses at FHS. 👏🏼👏🏼@FerndaleSD_WA ! @__Goodwin @waOSPI_CTE #YouBelong

The Ferndale High School Drama Department continues to amaze me. They have put together a fantastic production of Anastasia this year. I love seeing so many students come together and work together to create a fabulous show. Go check it out next week! #YouBelong @FerndaleSD_WA

FHS has so many unique opportunities and career fields to explore. I’m impressed everyday by the amazing things our students create!

@TJAltimore I’m curious who teams 22-26 are.

[Ben Goodwin @__Goodwin]

I went to UW during the Willingham years. I only saw 11 wins as a student. The least of any 4 year span in UW history. With Monday’s Sugar Bowl victory the Huskies have won 14 games just this year. This year is special. Go Dawgs! Bring that National Championship back to Seattle!

Enjoying The Lost Kings by @TyWritesBooks on the beach in Kauai. I read The Wolves of Winter by Tyrell 5 years ago in Maui. There was only one option when packing for this trip. 10/10 recommend both of Ty’s books!

It was awesome to watch students connect with local employers & colleges tonight at the FHS College & Career Fair. Students had the opportunity to continue to bring their High School & Beyond Plan to life with great community support. #YouBelong @FerndaleSD_WA @waOSPI_CTE @waOSPI

FHS students flooded the Commons today for our Club Fair which featured traditional clubs like FFA and DECA but also featured our new Eagle Time clubs. Highlights included break dancing English teachers and student karaoke. @FerndaleSD_WA #YouBelong

A beautiful afternoon to cheer on the Ferndale Cross Country team as they took on Sehome and Anacortes at Hovander Park. Go Eagles! #ItsAMatterOfPride @FHSAthletics21 @FerndaleSD_WA

Thank you to @KAFE1041 for coming out to FHS this morning to broadcast live and hear all about our new building and our CTE programs. @FerndaleSD_WA #YouBelong #OneTeamOneTown

Final: Ferndale 17 | Lynden 14

Incredible effort by the Golden Eagles tonight and a great start to their season.

[Ben Goodwin @__Goodwin]

Ended the first week of school with a pep rally celebrating our band, cheer, and football team as they take on Lynden for the first #FridayNightLights of the season. Go Eagles! Can’t say I’ve ever seen a pep rally end with popsicles, but it was awesome! Thanks Sugar Shack!

So great to see students back today as we welcomed the Class of 2027 to the building for our Freshman Orientation. Our student leaders did an amazing job welcoming them. 2 more sleeps until school starts! @FerndaleSD_WA #YouBelong #ItsAMatterOfPride #OneTeamOneTown

Had a fantastic day of learning from @tweetsomemoore with educators from @FerndaleSD_WA. Excited to kick off the school year next week with new insights towards designing inclusive environments and lessons. @KDominguezSupt #YouBelong

[Ben Goodwin @__Goodwin]

It has been a pleasure to learn alongside this fabulous group of educators for the past year. Today, we completed the WA-ACTE CTE Director Preparation Program. Congratulations team!!! And thank you @watkins_shani for leading our learning! @WashCTE @waOSPI @waOSPI_CTE #IamCTE

[Ben Goodwin @__Goodwin]

@KDominguezSupt @FerndaleSD_WA No doubt! An amazing example of collaboration and dedication. They are a pretty fun crew to hang out with too! Their students have a better experience in class because they can tell their teachers are having fun too.
