Admin Minute


Greetings Ferris Students and Families,

 

 As I write to you, I am full of gratitude and just a little tired. We've wrapped up a wonderful graduation season and enjoyed celebrating our amazing class of 2024. I want to thank our Senior All Nighter parents who provided a fun, safe, and overwhelmingly generous party for our graduates. Our Ferris parents continue to show us that Ferris does indeed have the best parent group in all the land.

 

The end of a school year is a great time to reflect and celebrate. The 2023-2024 school year was truly one to remember. I can honestly say that we have had much to celebrate this year, more than I can mention here. Ferris High School is an amazing place to work because of our students, parents, and staff. As this school year closes, I want to thank every one of you for working together to make Ferris a thriving Community.

 

Have a wonderful summer. We will see you all in the fall to do it all again!

 

John O'Dell

Principal
