The Findlay Trojan tradition of excellence in academics, athletics and all extracurricular activities are based on collaboration between our students, staff, administrators, parents and community who take great interest in our students. The well-qualified and caring staff is committed to creating an outstanding learning environment and a culture for excellence that supports and encourages our students and staff in their academic, extra-curricular and personal growth. FCS considers "facilitating student achievement" in a safe and caring environment as one of our top priorities. In many of our core subject areas, we use the ODE academic content standards which ensures the written curriculum, classroom instruction, and assessments of all learning to match in an alignment in which research suggests makes a powerful achievement tool for our students. The community has been awarded "The 100 Best Communities Award" for children for the past four years and FCS is a major factor in attaining that award. Working closely with the Community Foundation and many other community agencies, we continue to offer programs that help nurture the whole child including service learning, guidance, wellness, award winning music programs, nationally recognized journalism, fine arts courses, intramural and competitive sports, and provide continued special services for special needs and gifted students. We also believe that promoting character is important as part of our student's experience.
