Fabulous Food Drive 2022

It was a great year for the food drive at Fort Calhoun Elementary.  The event was organized by the student council and all the items collected were donated to the food pantry at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Fort Calhoun. The winning classroom was Mrs. Hodson’s 3rd-grade class and they won an ice cream party!  The Student Council Members had fun setting the can up to look like a replica of the businesses in Fort Calhoun and then delivered them to the church. Thank you to all the families who donated cans this year! As you can see from the pictures, it was a huge success.

Veterans Honored at Fort Calhoun High School 2022

On Friday, November 11th, Fort Calhoun Community Schools honored our Veterans by having a Veteran’s Day Ceremony. The event was hosted by our Skills USA students with an introduction by Skills USA President Wyatt Appel and the MC Sophia Thomas. The High School Band and Choir both performed several patriotic songs including the Armed Forces Salute and “We Honor You”. Plus, the 4th-grade students performed the patriotic song “On Veteran’s Day”. The keynote speaker was Fort Calhoun Alumni, Col. Janel Nelson. Students enjoyed a military trivia contest by Col. Nelson. AJ Duros finished by playing “Taps” right before the Color Guard retired the colors. Several service members from the Military were in attendance and enjoyed a luncheon prepared by the school kitchen staff and served by the Skills USA students. Thank you to everyone who helped with this event. Once again, Fort Calhoun Schools would like to thank all our Veterans for their service to our country.

Air Force ROTC Rep Visits Fort Calhoun

Our Fort Calhoun High school students had the opportunity to learn more about Air Force ROTC and the ROTC scholarship program when Second Lieutenant Catharine R. Donahoe, a Gold Bar Recruiter from the Air Force stopped by.  
We were also thrilled that Aaron Johnson (FCHS alumni ‘2019), a senior at UNO who serves as the cadet wing vice wing commander (CW/CV) (which is a cadet colonel rank in the AFROTC) could accompany her.
