A Dedication
As FISD celebrates its 75th Anniversary, we are pleased to unveil the newly remolded lobby named in honor of the FHS Musical founder, Dr. Myrlene Kennedy. The Myrlene Kennedy Auditorium will continue to be a place where our students and our community can come to share the fine arts for many years to come in her honor. Nightly we will rededicate this space in her name as her legacy continues.
