Join the Fairport Board of Education and District administrators on Wednesday, February 1 in the Fairport High School cafeteria at 6:30 p.m. for a Community Forum on the 2023-2024 School Budget! This is an opportunity for residents to ask questions and provide feedback in the development of the District’s 2023-2024 budget.
It’s an honor to be featured in the Start Here 2023 exhibit at RIT, but to win an award is a phenomenal achievement. This year, the Fairport Central School District is celebrating three winners.

Congratulations to Erica Belois-Pacer for her appointment to the Presidency of the Fairport Board of Education.
At the January Board of Education Business Meeting, then-President Peter Forsgren announced his intention to step down from the Presidency of the Fairport BoE. The Board immediately nominated then-Vice President Erica Belois-Pacer to serve as the new President and Peter Forsgren to serve as Vice President.
Two Fairport High School seniors will take the stage this spring in a celebration of music education, and in recognition of their own accomplishments. Noor Rouhana (violin) and Reid Canham (oboe) were selected to perform and represent Fairport in the upcoming National Association for Music Education All-Eastern Conference.
Rouhana and Canham’s paths to All-Eastern are studies of perseverance and of joy.
