The Folsom High School Chapter of the National Honor Society is now accepting applications from juniors and seniors. The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
Applications are on Mr. Nelson’s teacher webpage and are due no later than March 5, 2021. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Nelson: marknelson@fcusd.org
ATHLETICS/DANCES AND ACTIVITIES

Scholarship Updates:
This is the time of year when many scholarships have opened their application window; more than 20 added this week alone! Most of these are for graduating seniors but occasionally we have scholarships for other grades (see below for the Time to Thrive Scholarships which are for 10th and 11th graders). Lists and resources to aide in a scholarship search can be found on the College & Career Center’s Scholarship page. Seniors who intend to apply for scholarships should check out the following FCUSD password protected resources:
Master Scholarship List- Local, regional, statewide and national opportunities available
Scholarships for Folsom High Students- These are specifically for FHS seniors.
Students, do you still have questions about potential AP or elective classes? Before you register, you can get your questions answered by joining a Q&A session hosted by the teachers of many of those courses. Find the course, and join the team using your FCUSD account; be sure to calendar the time because many of these are one-time drop-in sessions. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bYxGj2E7JjkQl0cPYUyB0aI4pzl0gF-bWJgPjLnljpQ/edit?usp=sharing
Students: You can now download your unofficial transcript from PowerSchool! You must be logged onto the PowerSchool website; it is not currently available in the phone application. For detailed instructions on how to download your own transcript, please click transcript on the FHS counseling webpage.
The FHS Peer Tutor list is available online. Interested students can find the link on the FHS Counseling website. https://www.fcusd.org/Page/1761 Students must contact Peer Tutors directly utilizing their FCUSD email address so that tutors are able to identify them as a student. All tutoring is virtual. Peer tutoring services are $12 per hour. Fees are paid directly to the Peer Tutor.
The counseling department is excited to offer drop in virtual office hours for students every Monday from 12-1pm. The zoom links are posted in your advisory google classroom.
