This past Saturday evening, May 17th, our Fair Haven Union High School juniors and seniors danced the night away at The Barn at Kingston Place in Benson! The venue was stunning, and the students were absolutely glowing! Everyone looked amazing and brought their A-game for a night full of laughter, photos, and memories to last a lifetime. A special shout out to class advisors Ms. Julia Adams and Mr. Nate Morris, and a thank you to all who helped make this special evening such a success—here’s to the Class of 2025 and 2026!
Middle School students in Design Class have been building Mason Bee houses, and this group was the first to successfully complete theirs.

🚀 NASA TechRise Virtual Showcase – What an Amazing Experience! 🌎
On Monday, May 13th, our outstanding 7th graders from FHUMS—Braytin, DJ, Jared, Kalib, Derek, Rose, and Bailey—proudly represented our school and the entire state as the only student team from Vermont in the NASA TechRise Virtual Showcase!
Their innovative project focuses on measuring particulate matter in the atmosphere to better understand why Canadian wildfires are affecting Vermont summers. It’s an important real-world issue, and they approached it with curiosity, scientific thinking, and a strong sense of purpose.
Just like NASA researchers and university professors, the team developed their experiment for potential use in future NASA lunar, planetary, or deep-space missions. And here’s the most exciting part: their project will be launched aboard a NASA high-altitude balloon this summer to collect real atmospheric data!
This fall, the team will analyze the data from the flight and evaluate whether their hypothesis was correct—a true hands-on scientific journey from idea to analysis.
We are incredibly proud of how they presented to an audience of people from all across the country who tuned in virtually to hear about their work. They represented Vermont and their school with professionalism, poise, and passion for science.
Congratulations as well to their teacher, Mr. Jeremy VanDerKern, for his outstanding guidance and mentorship throughout this entire process. His support was key in helping bring this project to life and giving students an unforgettable STEM experience.
Way to go, Slaters!
