Principal's Message

Dear Griffin Families,
 
Principal SwilleyI would like to welcome all our new and returning students! I am looking forward to another productive and successful school year. We are glad to welcome our Griffins on campus and will continue to ensure that quality teaching and learning occur every day for every student. Our 2024-2025 school year theme will be: Protect the Brand. Our brand represents more than just a name or logo. It embodies our core values, our commitment to excellence, and the collective spirit of our community. Protecting the brand means upholding these values in everything we do, ensuring that our school remains a place of pride, respect, and achievement. A strong school community is built on active engagement and collaboration. We encourage parents to get involved through volunteering, attending school events, or participating in parent-teacher organizations. Open communication between home and school is essential for student success. Protecting the brand means working together as a unified community to support our students’ growth and development. Our students' gifts and talents, combined with our teachers' dedication and passion, allow us to strive for excellence. Excellence is not the result of a good intention or clever slogan, and it is not a value that is easily achieved. It comes from a strong desire to improve what we do when we see it can be done better.
 
Fairfield Central High School will continue as an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) site. We are excited about our continued efforts schoolwide to help our students
“OWN” their learning. We made great strides last year and can be proud of what we accomplished.
 
A few of our highlights include:
      • 18 graduates of Midlands Technical College with Associate Degrees in Science and/or General Studies Certificates
      • 2A Boys State Champions
      • 2024 Gatorade Player of the Year
      • 2024 WLTX Player of the Year
      • 2024 State Principal of the
        Year
      • State and National Accolades for our Griffin Beta Club to include another State Vice
        President
      • increases in ALL Academic Areas
 
I know by continually improving our school-community relations, more positive gains are inevitable. Find any successful school, and you will also find parents and community members who are involved and supportive of the school. Your support is integral to our success. This community recognizes the value of educational and extra-curricular activities; therefore, our school expects our students to excel inside and outside the classroom. I hope you are proud of our students as they reflect these expectations through character and commitment.
 
IT’S GREAT TO BE A GRIFFIN AT FCHS!
