Our 8th graders visited Harper College to tour the campus, join demo lessons, and learn about the Harper Promise Scholarship, smaller class sizes, cost savings, and transfer partnerships with universities. They also explored programs in math, AI, fashion, and graphic design.

Today we celebrate our amazing custodial team! Their hard work keeps Friendship clean, safe, and welcoming every single day. From early mornings to late evenings, they make sure our school shines. Be sure to thank our custodians for all they do to support our Firebird community!
