Pioneer Families,

Fort Calhoun High School athletic programs would like to invite you and your child(ren) to join us at home events this year. We have upwards of 40 home varsity events in which we want to fill the stands and have a great crowd on hand to cheer on our athletic teams. Our programs have already begun practices and are working hard to prepare themselves for the upcoming seasons.

I would like to remind you that if you bring your child to a game, you are responsible for where they are during the event. At any event in the building, children should not be left unsupervised at any point and are not allowed in the academic area of the school, auxiliary gym, or roaming outside of the school building. At football games, they are not to roam in front of (west side) of the school or on the northeast hillside area. They are to stay on the backside (east) area inside the fences or in the stands with you. If your child is caught in any of the aforementioned areas, you may receive a call from the administration to discuss this further.

Additionally, if your child chooses to leave the football game early, they must leave through the south gate (by the concession stand) and will not be allowed to reenter the facility.

We will be offering passes this year as we have done in the past. The prices for all passes are listed here:

         Student (K-12) = $50

         1 Adult = $70

         Family Pass (Includes all immediate family only) = $150

               * Children are included under the family pass until they graduate from college*

You may purchase a pass for yourself, your child, or your family in the high school office, at any home event, or at the Fall Sports Kickoff on Friday, August 23rd. At the Fall Sports Kickoff, we’ll have our football scrimmage and introduce all of our fall sports teams, as well as cheerleaders and dance teams.

If you’re looking for information on how to find out when events are scheduled, go to our school’s website, www.ftcpioneers.org, and look under the calendar link.

I look forward to seeing you and your family at events this year. We are excited to start the sports season, and hopefully, you will be there to help cheer us on. As always, GO PIONEERS!

On Friday, March 1st, Mrs. Hernandez, FC High School Counselor, accompanied a group of students to the Law Enforcement Open House that was sponsored by the Nebraska National Guard 402^nd Military Police Battalion at the Readiness Center near Bennington.  There, students from around the Omaha area, learned more about Military Police Communications, Vehicles, Weapons, and Security / Movement Ops. There was also a career fair featuring several area Sheriff Departments, the Omaha Police Department, and the DEA.
