Current Events students explored the study of political cartoons by identifying symbolism, analogy, bias, and other messages artists use to communicate political and social issues. Students concluded the unit by analyzing a social media political cartoon, applying their understanding of visual messaging, media influence, and critical thinking.
The AP Physics class performs an open inquiry experiment. Students kinematics equation in order to determine the initial speed, range, height and time in air of sphere projected at an angle above the ground.
The Physical science analyzes projectile motion using PHET simulations. The students determine the range, height and time in air of a projectile motion projected at an angle.
The Fairview High School AmeriCorps Youth program volunteered on October 15th at Agriculture Safety Day in Franklin, PA. They guided area elementary students through several fun and educational activities about topics including farm to plate, tractor safety, and animal interactions.
On October 13, 28 Fairview students participated in the 2026 World Language Competition at Slippery Rock University. Nearly 400 students from 28 western PA high schools took part in the day. In the Poster Presentation Contest, Gabby Pagliari took first place honors with her presentation "American Perceptions of Crises in Afghanistan". In the French 1 competition, Leonardo Bayrumgalin finished in second place, with Maha Rallapalli right behind him in third. Simon Biggs and Caroline Strobel took first and second place honors respectively in the French 2 competition. In Spanish 2, Elliot Levy ended the day in first place with Rayteb Alkhudari in third. When not competing, the students had time to visit various internationally themed exhibits and explore the campus on a beautiful October day!
To complete a unit comparing TV series, Honors Spanish 4 students are filming a parody of the classic show Sábado Gigante. If you've seen the show, you'll know that a completely over-the-top competition that results in lots of laugh was culturally accurate!
🧪 CHOPPED: AP BIO LAB! 🧪🥔
This week’s secret ingredients: dialysis tubing + potatoes! Shoaib Essa and Logan Thompson, put their biology skills to the test in a race against the clock as they investigated osmosis and diffusion—using some seriously creative experimental thinking along the way. 👩🔬👨🔬🔬
Great work, Scientists! 🏆

Just a little dose of cuteness to brighten your day! These two therapy-dog besties love greeting students in the morning, joining in on a good Chill lesson, and, of course, taking their jobs very seriously—especially when it comes to playing and napping!
Not sure who has more fun around here: the students or the dogs!

Mr. Barbour's AP Research class reached new heights (figuratively and literally) at Mercyhurst University. The Research students are gathering scholarly sources for their annotated bibliographies, a major part of their research journey. The staff at Mercyhurst's Hammermill Library was kind enough to allow FHS students to utilize the library's digital databases. Students found a wealth of great information. Next step: read, annotate, summarize, and analyze!
Gannon University Aviation Panel: Fairview High School students participated in Gannon University's Aviation Panel discussion on Thursday, October 1st at Fundamentals Flight Training. Several aviation professionals talked to the students about career opportunities in aviation, describing their own professional paths and sharing interesting stories about working in the aviation field. Students were also given a tour of Fundamentals Flight Training's facility and even had the chance to sit in one of the airplanes and attempt to land a plane in their flight simulator.
Students in RMU Literature and Media wrote poems modeled after George Ella Lyon's "Where I'm From." They spent time reading their classmates' poems to see how everyone responded to the same prompt before writing affirming comments on each!

Fairview School Foundation's FHS September student of the month. These students were recognized for our first pillar of ROAR, which is Respect.
Students in Physical Science conducted experiments to determine the acceleration of a moving car using kinematics equations.
Students in Miss Ramsay's Fiction to Film class are learning about how to create a proper movie poster for the Project Hail Mary novel. They will use themes, images, and marketing techniques to entice an audience to watch the movie.
Freshmen Environmental Science students had a busy week as they collected data for their biodiversity journals and participated in the International Coastal Cleanup. Students found a variety of organisms on campus including a Chinese Mantis and Snapping Turtle. They also collected over 800 pieces of trash weighing in at 60 pounds.
Honors World Cultures students used the Five Themes of Geography to map the diffusion of important world beverages. Students traced where drinks are produced vs consumed, as well as their impact on cultures.
