For 75 years, the YMCA Youth and Government program has been providing a “hands-on,” non-partisan, civic engagement opportunity for countless teens across our state. Throughout the process, teens take on various roles of state government from press, pages, lobbyists, and legislators to appointed and elected officials. This up-close experience provides youth the chance to run their own youth legislature.

The FPHS Sport Medicine Club competed in the State Sports Medicine Competition April 22 & 23.  Our students competed against schools from all across Washington in the categories of Oral Practical Sports Medicine, Medical Terminology, Anatomy and Physiology, First Aid, and Exercise Science.  Additional competitions include virtual anatomy, speed ankle taping, student presentations, and resume and interview skills.  There were over 850 students competing this weekend.
