Our Florence High School Hi-Q team recently competed, putting their knowledge, teamwork, and quick thinking to the test. We are proud of the way these students represented Florence with confidence, sportsmanship, and determination. Academic competitions like Hi-Q challenge students to think critically, collaborate, and apply what they’ve learned across many subject areas.

On February 5th, 2026, the Niagara Lions Club offered a free vision screening to our students. The screening involves an instant electronic scan of the child’s eyes to detect six eye disorders. On behalf of our school, we would like to extend our sincere thanks! Your willingness to offer this important service free of charge made a meaningful difference for our families and our school community.
Early vision screening is so important for a child’s learning and overall well-being, and your time, expertise, and generosity helped ensure our students have the support they need to succeed. We are truly grateful for your continued commitment to serving children and supporting education.
Thank you again for your kindness and dedication. We greatly appreciate all that you do.
