    First year at FCDS:     Pre-K

    My favorite memory at FCDS has been the senior class parade. It was an unforgettable morning when I realized why it was so amazing to be able to blow my referee whistle, spray my silly string, and scooter alongside my friends for our last first day of high school.

    My favorite class was Mr. Martin's C3 class in my 8th-grade year. For anyone who has had Mr. Martin, you know that he is no ordinary structured teacher, but that is what made the class such a memorable experience. He let us have the freedom to show OUR curiosity in the class by allowing us to choose almost all the topics for discussions/debates, reading assignments, and everything else. It was the first class I looked forward to attending every day, and I won't forget how Mr. Martin brought out the best qualities in his students.

    FCDS has taught me many things inside and outside the academic world. Although I am confident in the foundations FCDS has created in my studies, I also know that everyone within the community has prepared me to be able to form connections with my educators and peers in meaningful ways that will impact me for my entire life.
