Congratulations to the Class of 2026 Fernandina Beach High School! 🎓
On behalf of the Fernandina Beach High School Foundation, we wish each of you success, happiness, and endless opportunities in all that lies ahead.
Dream big, work hard, and never forget that you will always be a part of the Pirate family. ⚓💙
As we near the end of another school year, we’re reflecting on all that has been made possible through the generosity of our donors, supporters, and community partners.
This video highlights just a few of the initiatives the Fernandina Beach High School Foundation has proudly helped launch and continue to grow over the years - programs designed to enrich the student experience and create meaningful opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.
From funding calculators that helped math students approach AP testing with greater confidence, to supporting the journalism program and empowering students to become engaged citizens and storytellers… from providing hands-on science kits that bring learning to life, to helping launch The Cove, our on-campus Pirate gear store where business and entrepreneurship students gain real-world retail experience - every investment has made a lasting impact.
Thank you for believing in our students, our teachers, and the future of Fernandina Beach High School. Together, we are creating opportunities that continue to evolve and inspire the next generation of Pirates. 💙🏴☠️

Because of You, The Pirate Advantage Lives On. 🏴☠️❤️
The Pirate Advantage 2025 wasn’t just a campaign — it was a promise to our students, teachers, and future. And because of this community, that promise became action.
✨ The launch of HOPE Squad, bringing peer-led mental health support and su***de prevention to our campus
✨ $100,000 invested each year in program and school-wide grants
✨ The Cove (our student-run Pirate gear store) opening its doors and teaching real-world business skills
✨ A graduation rate that surpassed the school’s goal
✨ Stronger teacher retention, creating stability and excellence in our classrooms
This is what happens when a community shows up.
This is what happens when we believe in our Pirates.
Thank you for fueling the Pirate Advantage.

Celebrating the Feast. Building the Future. ⭐️
Because of this community, the Feast raised more than $140,000 in one unforgettable evening — a powerful investment in the students of Fernandina Beach High School.
But the impact doesn’t stop there. As we approach an exciting milestone, we’re launching our 40th Anniversary campaign, a very bold one to grow our endowment to $2.5 million — ensuring we can give $100,000 to FBHS every year, in perpetuity.
We’re $800,000 away from that goal.
If you couldn’t join us at the Feast, you can still be part of this milestone moment. Your donation today helps secure funding for our students for many, many years to come.
Join us in supporting our 40th Anniversary campaign. 💙💛🏴☠️
