Mission
The mission of AdvocateFHSD.org is to educate our community with facts and informed analysis regarding activities of the board, and challenges Forest Hills School District (FHSD) is facing. In this, we hope to empower residents to generate, share, and spread factual information, engage in group actions, and support self-initiated efforts to achieve our shared goals. Advocates will minimize political positioning as we endeavor to drive a community unified behind the vision of District Excellence defined by its inclusivity, focus on student outcomes, and responsible financial management of taxpayer funds.
These efforts will result in informed and engaged FHSD residents who are active in our school community, and well positioned to advocate for continued excellence in our district, ultimately increasing engagement in community and school district initiatives.
