The staff received their $500 bonus checks last week on Thursday, December 17, 2020.

They have signed a Letter of Intent with Texas State Technical College (TSTC) to offer classes, including, dual credit welding, architectural design, engineering, computer networking, and cyber security for all Fairfield High School students.
These will hopefully begin during the 2021-2022 school year.
