The FHUHS Law Enforcement class invites former students to come and talk about their public service careers. Recently Sam St. Peter discussed studying fire science and working as a live-in firefighter in Gorham, ME. Then Leif Cegalis came in on his leave to discuss his experiences with basic training and infantry school with the U.S. Army. After leave, Leif heads to airborne school. Both former Slaters are succeeding and achieving in their chosen career fields. They are making Slater Nation proud.

It was a great first home game kick off in Slater Nation last night! Not only did the boys deliver a win, but during halftime we celebrated the homecoming of fellow Slater, Colbi, along with enjoying a crazy Mascot Madness half court shot challenge! Our student athletic leaders also talked about the importance of mental health while tossing t shirts into the stands.
