Six Fairport High School Class of 2020 graduates were inducted into the Student Hall of Fame on August 5 at the high school. Ren’ee Doser, Josie Keenan, David Munechika, Emily Pollack, Morgan Schwab and Eden Yarbrough were honored during a ceremony that looked a bit different this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Please join Superintendent Provenzano and building leaders on Thursday, July 30 from 6:30-8 p.m. on our District Facebook page or on the District’s YouTube. The purpose of this LIVE session is to discuss the hybrid and virtual instructional models in more detail. We will also address transportation questions families may have at this time.
