FHS History Fair
Student Council Volunteers
FHS Student Council Association
Presents the Second
FLOMATON HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY FAIR
April 27, 2026
8:00am-2:00pm
The major focus of
the Flomaton High School History Fair
highlights the research
of the students, but it also seeks to spark a genuine interest in
learning for students of all ages.
This year, Flomaton High School's history
and English teachers are collaborating to assist the 10th and 11th
grade students in researching various topics in time periods
throughout American history. Instead of just writing a
traditional research paper, however, they are going to be
presenting their theses in a visual format. The student council
will sponsor the second Flomaton High School History
Fair.
While the major thrust of the history fair
is the student work, FHS has also invited members of our community
to come set up historical displays. Several of the local
historical societies have agreed to set up booths with local
artifacts. FHS also invited numerous museums, historical parks, and
other educational organizations. They are going to setup
displays with local history, photographs, models, artifacts,
etc. There is an extensive list of participants ranging from
the USS Alabama to Historic Pensacola to the National Naval
Aviation Museum. The school will also be hosting a
non-competitive antique car show for the students to see how
automobiles have changed over time. Volunteer members of the FHS
Student Council will dress in historical costume to serve as tour
guides. This will be a rewarding experience for the students
and the community.
Flomaton Elementary School will also be
hosting a wax museum. Students in the sixth grade will
research various historical figures and create a "wax figure" for
the museum. They present on a historical character with dress,
audio and poster or backdrop. This year, the wax museum will
be held on the same day as the FHS History Fair to further promote
the events. The wax museum will be located in the old
gymnasium from 8:00 to 12:00.
The date is Friday, April 27,
2018, and the time is set from
8am-2pm. The general public is invited to tour the
history fair. Flomaton High School is located at 21200
Highway 31 in Flomaton, Alabama. More information may be
