Important Update for FCS Sporting Events
As we work to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone attending Fostoria City Schools sporting events, please be aware of the following changes:
No Re-Entry
- Once you enter the event and leave, you will not be permitted to re-enter. Please make sure you have everything you need before entering, as you will not be able to leave and return.
No Backpacks or Oversized Bags
- Backpacks and oversized bags will not be permitted inside FCS sporting events. Please leave these items at home or secured in your vehicle before entering. Small personal bags and purses are permitted.
Please note that these are changes from our previous event procedures.
We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of our students, families, and community members as we put these expectations in place.
Thank you for helping us keep FCS events enjoyable for everyone!
Fostoria Jr/Sr High parents/guardians, please check your email for an important reminder email sent via Final Forms
This is our first Senior Spotlight for the 26-27 school year! We plan to feature a different senior every Tuesday and Thursday.

Regular attendance is an important part of a student's success. When students are in class, they get the most out of every lesson and opportunity. See the attached handout for information on why attendance matters and attendance tips for your family.

We had a great first day back with our FCS staff as we kicked off the 2026–27 school year! It was wonderful to have everyone together again and get ready to welcome our students back.
And we had to get a picture of this group—FCS alumni who now work for Fostoria City Schools! From once walking our halls as students to now serving the next generation of Redmen, we love seeing our alumni come back home and make a difference.
Here’s to a great year ahead!
Inspire. Succeed. Leave a Legacy.
