A note on Fundraising, Building Use and Field Trips
Fundraising is often used by clubs to support activities, while reducing the individual student's financial burden. In order to maximize the impact of fundraisers, we attempt to schedule fundraisers in a way that they do not conflict with one another. Please contact Ms. Barcus in the activities office for fundraising approval.
Building use reservations are currently online at the FCPS website for the community and on FSDirect for HHS Faculty and Staff. Please click the respective link for access.
Field trips enrich the study of classroom instruction, are an integral activity encouraged by Career & Technical Education Student Organizations and other organizations. It provides students with great opportunities to travel locally, domestically and abroad, further developing content learned in the classroom.
