A message from Mr. Wigle:
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Tai Ward and Deborah Williamson for their dedicated service to the Fairfield Community School District Board of Directors.
Tai is a diehard Trojan. He loves the people of this community and has spent countless hours serving the staff and students of our district. When I came in as a new superintendent, Tai was our board president, and he was incredible to work with—steady, thoughtful, and deeply committed to doing what is best for Fairfield. Throughout his time on the board, Tai helped navigate many challenging situations, always keeping students at the center of every decision and working to create better opportunities for our kids. Thank you, Tai!
Deborah has a heart bigger than anyone I have ever worked with and finds countless ways to give back to Fairfield. Her desire to make a lasting and meaningful impact on our schools will not be forgotten. Deborah, thank you for your time, your heart, and your unwavering dedication to the Fairfield Schools. It has truly been a privilege to serve alongside you.
On behalf of our entire district, we are grateful for the leadership, compassion, and commitment both Tai and Deborah have given to Fairfield. Their service leaves a lasting legacy for our students, staff, and community.

Get to know the School Board Candidates!
It's been a busy week at FMS with lots of fun, too! We have celebrated Red Ribbon Week with lessons in Trojan Time and a coloring contest. We had our monthly Trojan PRIDE assembly where we were able to celebrate our Student of the Month and Principal's Award winners from each grade and have a special guest, Cam Cooksey, to share his experiences growing up with peer pressure and learning to say no to others to say yes to himself. Finally, we got to enjoy some Halloween fun today!
A huge THANK YOU to our student leaders who make so much of this happen! From leading our assemblies, to setting up and cleaning up, to being leaders in our building, we couldn't have fun like this without you!

Engaging with our community members has been a priority for the School Board and administration throughout our facility planning process.
Q: Did you seek feedback from the community?
A: It’s important for our residents to have a shared understanding and vision for the future of education at FCSD, which is why we have strived to engage with the community. Multiple information meetings have been hosted, and a community survey was completed following the 2024 bond vote.
