    Thanks to everyone who has sent words of congratulations and encouragement to me. I truly am overwhelmed and had no idea there was such an award. Ironically, I had e-mailed several of you to make sure you showed up to support the Forest City High School on being “the Partnering Agency of the Year” (and you did) only to find out that I was being surprised with the “Partner of the Year Award”.

    Our goal at the FCHS is to have every graduate with special instruction/needs connected to a job, training, college, or post-secondary learning/working opportunity before they leave high school. We are taking many needed steps to see this happen in the years to come. Much thanks goes to the wonderful partnership that the Forest City High School has developed with Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services and the employers in our area. I work with great people who want to see students be successful in the real world after high school. Thanks again for all your support as these goals are not met without everyone working together!
