Dear Ferguson Hall Families

Dear Ferguson Hall Families,

Welcome to Ferguson Hall! We are excited to partner with you as we welcome the Class of 2030  and begin this important transition into high school.

During Mrs. Sweet’s leave of absence, we will serve as Interim Principals for the 2026-2027 school year, alternating leadership responsibilities throughout the year. Although we will not be serving simultaneously, we will work closely together to ensure consistent leadership, support, and a seamless experience for students and families.

Our Mission for the Freshman Year

At Ferguson Hall, we are committed to helping students build a strong foundation for success in high school and beyond. Along with academic growth, we encourage students to develop the confidence, resilience, and global awareness needed to thrive in college, careers, military service, and life. 

A Safe Place to Learn and Grow

We challenge students to reach their full potential while providing a safe, supportive environment where they feel comfortable taking risks, learning from mistakes, and growing both academically and personally. 

The Power of Partnership

Families are essential partners in a successful freshman year. By working together, we can provide the support and encouragement students need to thrive. 

Your Ferguson Hall Support System

Our dedicated team is here to support every student's academic, social, and emotional success. Throughout the year, we will work closely with: 

  • Mr. Justin Cochran, Assistant Principal, and the Ferguson Hall Building Leadership Team.
  • Our School Counselors and Support Staff, who specialize in helping students navigate the academic and social shift to high school, including Mrs. Christine Schmidt and Mrs. Lauren Spencer.
  • The Central Office Administrative Team, ensuring seamless district alignment.

We look forward to partnering with you to make freshman year a positive and rewarding experience. Thank you for trusting us with your student, and welcome to the Ferguson Hall family! 

Go Beavers!

Sincerely,

Mr. Deron Schwieterman & Ms. Sherley Kurtz
