Sav and Kier’s Declassified High School Survival Guide

In a high school filled with shenanigans in the commons, crazy teachers, and the long lines for pizza Wednesday, there’s us, Savanna and Kiersten, and the rest of us who try to do the impossible. Inspired by the Nickelodeon TV show from the early 2000s, Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, we thought up the idea that FHS should have our own. Much like Ned’s advice tips through his crazy middle school experience, you can check back here for high school updates and tips about school, events, or even other things that are typical to our teen lifestyle.

Deck the Halls With… Lots of Homework

Ahh Christmas season and the holidays… the most wonderful time of the year.
