🏆 HOSA FINALISTS 🏆

Four CFHS students just placed in the top 32 teams in the NATION at the HOSA-Future Health Professionals national tournament in San Jose!

"I am very proud of their hard work and commitment," said teacher Megan Kimball, who chaperoned the team.

This is what Deep Learning looks like: collaboration, problem-solving, communication, and excellence. So proud of these Falcons.

🎾 Congratulations to the CFHS Boys Tennis team, honored last night with CFSD Star Awards at the Governing Board meeting!
The Falcons capped a perfect 16-0 season to claim their second consecutive Division II State Championship, the program's 19th overall and its eighth in the past ten years.

Board Vice President Tom Logue celebrated the program's legacy of excellence while reminding everyone that each title is earned fresh, by new athletes and coaches who put in the work. He also recognized first-year head coach Nicholas Uphoff, who praised his team's competitive spirit and determination.

Cheers to the 2026 state champions: Santiago Astengo Jaime, Ahmed Bozdogan, Damon Brown, Malik Campbell, Andrew Eddy, Matthew Eddy, Mauro Escudero, Rajen Fadia, Finn Griffis, Emil LeBauer, Kai Sadalla, Alexander Tehrani, Rene Vidal, and Aaron Zeldin, along with Coach Uphoff.

Go Falcons!

Class of 2026, aloha. 🌺

Last night you boarded Falcon Airlines at Gate 26, walked through an airplane, and stepped into a Hawaiian getaway built inside the gym, complete with a volcano.

The Dancing Dads delivered. The seniors played, chatted, and hung out until sunrise.🌅

That is exactly the point.

CFHS Grad Night is part of a 40-year national tradition that began in Maine, after seven students lost their lives on graduation night. By 1986, every state had a Project Graduation. The idea behind it has not changed: build a celebration so memorable, so worth showing up for, that grads want to spend the night together, safely, with the people who raised them.

The architects of that celebration are the CFHS Family Faculty Organization. The FFO spends most of the year planning Grad Night, then pours countless hours into designing and hand-building the set pieces, sourcing the props, chasing the donations, recruiting the volunteers, and transforming a high school gym into something the seniors will still be talking about at their 20-year reunion. The volcano did not appear by accident. Neither did the airport gate, the tiki bar, or the runway carpet. Every piece of it came from the imaginations and labor of FFO families.

It takes a big ohana to pull off one night. Parents, teachers, alumni, neighbors, and local businesses who donated, decorated, dealt cards, served food, ran games, and stayed up until sunrise so a class of Falcons could close this chapter together.

To the Class of 2026: you boarded as students. You walked off as alumni. Congratulations!

To the FFO and every volunteer who made it happen: mahalo! We lava you more than words can say!!!💕 🌴🌋

This is more fun than it sounds. Plus, free breakfast burritos.🌯

Grad Night Fun Fact: What gets built in 4 days must be cleaned up in 4 hours. Our committee needs your help! Please consider donating an hour or two tomorrow morning to help out our weary clean-up crew!

Clean up starts at 5am and goes until it is done. See you then!

Congratulations to our seniors who earned distinctions at last night’s Honors Ceremony. From Seals of Biliteracy to Academic, Scholar-Activity, and Scholar-Athlete Awards, you have given us so much to celebrate. Way to go, Falcons!
