Thirteen years. The length of time the Class of 2021--approximately 850 graduates from both high schools-- has been in school before graduating this week. While this seems short to parents and other adults, for these 17 and 18 year olds it is truly their lifetime. These graduates from Forney and North Forney have packed in volumes of learning and experiences in those short 13 years. From learning in the classrooms to participating in extracurricular activities, these young men and women have represented their families and school district very well. Forney Education Foundation has been a part of that in helping the teachers in Forney ISD by funding teacher-requested grants, rewarding Teacher of the Year educators, and serving lunches to the campuses that have the largest contributions during their employee drives.
And for the first time since dual credit classes were made available to the students in FISD, there were 10 seniors, 5 students from each high school, who received their Associates Degree from Dallas College Eastfield before receiving their high school diplomas! These 10 High School and Community College graduates represent the Founders’ vision of continuing their education to give themselves a better future, along with the other seniors who also participated in the dual credit classes, thus giving themselves a head start on their college careers, and all the other seniors who are pursuing hands-on careers-- in welding/fabrication, culinary arts, medical/technical careers among many other fields.
Thirteen years. One Hundred Fifty Four months. Six Hundred Seventy weeks. Four Thousand Six Hundred Eighty Four days. Forney Education Foundation salutes you, the Class of 2021, as well as your families both your personal ones as well as your Forney Family for helping you achieve the goal of graduation.
