  • Do you love Fayette Ware? Absolutely! I really don't know why so many people down Fayette Ware who attend the school. Those kids at "the other place" don't care a thing for us, and this is the only public high school in the county. I stand beside my school to the fullest. Upon my graduation I plan to look back at this note and say that, "yeah, Fayette Ware can produce a successful black man." I am a proud member of AOK (Legion of Doom #13), the VP of the Beta Club, the VP of FBLA, a member of the football team, and the President of the Class of 2011. I am PROUD to attend this institution, no matter its ups and downs!

  • I attend this school which as its ups and downs just like any other school system. There are alot of great things to get involved in and we've made AYP since the 2008-2009 school year. Mr. Hicks has really lead us in the right direction for us to succeed not only as students, but as people of a society when we graduate. As a senior of this student body, there are things that could improve, but for the most part our positives outweigh our negatives. Also I send my love to FCCLA, SADD, NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY, SGA,CLASS OF 2010 AND OF COURSE THOSE SASSY ELITE SISTERS OF EXCELLENCE. ELOQUENT GEM #8!
