This June, our students will compete in national events and international festivals, gaining invaluable experience and proudly representing Farmington Municipal Schools, as approved by the FMS Board of Education.
National History Day Conference | June 13-18
University of Maryland, College Park
Students from Heights, Farmington High, and Piedra Vista will represent FMS at the National History Day Conference.
In previous years, FMS had a maximum of 50 students participating in NHD. This year, that number tripled to 150 students across all four middle schools, FHS, and PV who took part in our Library Day in November. From there, 100 students advanced to Regionals, 63 regional competitors earned a spot at State, and now 15 state competitors have earned the right to represent FMS on the national stage. Reaching this stage is a testament to remarkable growth and dedication. Best of luck!
HOSA International Leadership Conference | June 17-20
Indianapolis, Indiana
Four Farmington High School students will travel to the HOSA International Leadership Conference, where the top student competitors from across the globe gather to demonstrate their health science knowledge and professional skills. Our students earned this opportunity by placing highly at the New Mexico HOSA State Leadership Conference among a field of more than 980 competitors. Reaching the international level in health science is an extraordinary achievement. Great work!
International Thespian Festival | June 21-26
Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana
Both of our high school theatre programs will compete at the International Thespian Festival, one of the most prestigious performing arts events in the world. The festival features outstanding performances from around the globe, workshops in acting, dance, theater, and other performing arts disciplines, and the opportunity to meet professionals from Broadway. College representatives will also be in attendance, making this an experience that extends well beyond competition.
Farmington High School will be represented by Ransley James, who qualified for State in costume construction, and Ashlynn Evans, President of the FHS Theater Troupe.
Piedra Vista will send five students, including Kaytlyn Young, who qualified for Musical Theater Solo and recently earned an extraordinary $80,000 scholarship from the American Musical Dramatic Academy. That recognition alone speaks to the caliber of talent within our programs. Break a leg!
