Fairburn will be celebrating 100 years in 2026.
Fairburn, a century of excellence, will be celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2026. This significant milestone is a testament to our rich history and the collective efforts of our community.
To mark this milestone, we are seeking a committee of parents, community members, teachers, and students to plan events and activities leading up to a celebration in the fall of 2026. This is a unique opportunity for you to be part of something special and contribute to the legacy of our school. If you are interested in planning exciting activities for the school community, please email me at [email protected]. We will be seeking corporate sponsors that are also celebrating their centennial to celebrate alongside our school. Please join me, FAB, and our school as we plan the biggest Celebration of Fairburn.
