She was supported through this whole process by her Mom, Dad, Colton, Grandparents and Coach Scott Shaddock. Slater Nation is so proud of Paityn. Congratulations!

Special thanks to the Vermont Police Academy for hosting the FHUHS Introduction to Law Enforcement & Public Service class. This is a new co-taught class with Mrs. Beth Nicholson and our SRO Ed Hunter. We had a great day touring the campus with Cpl. Hunter, meeting the K-9 trainees, learning about “use of force” and exploring this career pathway. It was wonderful to see the students so interested and engaged.

Wishing Paityn DeLong the best of luck! She is headed to Colorado for an all girls wrestling tournament. FHUHS is proud of you. We are cheering you on from VT! Go Paityn! Pictured is the crew going to cheer her on and support her.
