🏈 FHN Athletic Boosters are volunteer individuals with an athlete participating at FHN - one from each team. We meet monthly and encourage participation at all levels, from freshman, JV, and Varsity. We raise money to support 30+ FHN sports. Our three primary fundraisers are (1) Concession sales, (2) Special Events, and (3) Patron Donations. Each year, we distribute $50,000 to FHN teams. The extra support for training and player/coach development is very important to our coaches and athletes.

Northern Hills Middle School

Behind every successful school are people who quietly make a difference.

Parents who volunteer.

Teachers who go the extra mile.

Community members who give their time.

Students who help one another.

The Forest Hills Northern PTO and Academic Boosters is powered by people who care about creating the best possible experience for our students, teachers, and families.

Whether it's helping at an event, sharing an idea, serving on a committee, or simply cheering on our students, every contribution helps strengthen our community.

You don't have to volunteer every week to make an impact.

Sometimes, one hour is enough to make a student's day a little brighter.

As we prepare for another school year, we're grateful for everyone who helps make Forest Hills Northern such a special place.
