The Legends Wall of Fame is now at 22 members. During the Spring of 2004 the FHS Trustees voted to change the name of Rawson Field to Legends Stadium, in conjunction with improvements being made to the facility. With outstanding students, athletes, teachers, coaches and administrators, the board believed that recognizing "Legends" would be an effective way to distinguish the many different folks who have made a significant contribution to the school community.
