From FCUSD 168: We are monitoring the approaching winter weather and expect to be able to have school tomorrow on Tuesday, February 18 with the hope to have a full day of instruction. If conditions worsen significantly, we will have an all-call and message as soon as possible. Please take it slow in the morning.
We thank the West Frankfort Fire Department and the West Frankfort Police Department for providing an escort on a rainy afternoon as , for the first time ever, two FCHS student-athletes have advanced to the IHSA Girls' State Wrestling Tournament to be held on February 28 - March 1 at the Grossinger Motors Arena in downtown Bloomington, Illinois. More information will be posted over the course of the next 10 days as we root for Nikolette Ronketto and Sophia Bechelli as they represent us at State. Congratulations also goes to Coach Rick Arrington and Assistant Coaches Samantha Finn, Marcus Chance, David Butler, and Matt Huff for their efforts in developing this program.
The wrestlers will be back closer to 4:15 and the main high school building will be open.
Our state bound Redbird Wrestling girls will be heading into town around 4:10pm if you would like to greet them!
On February 4th we had our JV Conference Scholar Bowl Tournament, and on February 11th we had the Varsity one. Although we didn't place in the tournaments, I am so proud of our Scholar Bowl team. They always give out All-Conference medals for answering a lot of tossups, and Hunter Loeh got one for answering 16 toss-ups in 4 matches. Josie DeVillez was one toss-up away from getting an All-Conference medal as well. I am so proud of these kids, and can't wait to see what we can accomplish next year!
We thank everyone who was able to attend the Informational Meeting held at CJHS on Thursday, February 13, 2025. As mentioned at the meeting, the presentation would be posted on the District’s website. The link for the document is in the "News" section of the District's pages along with other follow-up information.
High School girls will play their first game of regionals this Monday (2/17) at DuQuoin at 7:30pm. They will play the winner of Duquoin and Murphysboro.

A Message from FCUSD #168: We are watching the Winter Weather forecast. It appears that it may be messy in the morning, but unless conditions deteriorate significantly overnight, we would expect to welcome students back to school on Tuesday morning.
Just take things a little slower and more carefully in the morning. Have a good evening.
