FHS is pleased to highlight Mrs. Laurie Miller today. This is Mrs. Miller's 28th year teaching in our English Department. She said, "I am blessed to work with young people everyday who never fail to surprise me, plus they keep me on my toes and young at heart!" She also enjoys the tremendous, supportive staff and administration. She said she can "rely on their expertise and advice, and they are always willing to help out. They are rock stars." Thank you for your dedication to our students and our school Mrs. Miller.
