some kind of construction this summer. 

Every school site will receive different combinations of security cameras,

roof repair/ replacement, parking lot resurfacing, and energy

conservation/sustainability improvements (window replacement,

lighting and mechanical system upgrades).

See details at Forest Hills District News Site

School districts reflect the interest people have in their

community public education systems. Forest Hills Schools are

 one of the best in our state in almost every category.  New

school updates are one of the ways we try to keep you informed

on what is happening in the Forest Hills District.

Forest Hills Michigan ~ 2009 Forest Hills Public School News

Forest Hills Michigan - Home to a Growing Public School District

We just received the Superintendant's News Letter with all the Forest

Hills Public School news.  Of course, there was talk of budget challenges

and difficult times.  Even school districts that are well-funded, like Forest

Hills Public, are having budget issues because of state funding reductions.

 Forest Hills is focused on student education, and is still reducing

administrative overhead. 76.7% of the school budget is spent on

 classroom and instructional support.
