- I am a graduate of FPC's Class of 79, and would like to obtain a copy of my school transcripts. My name Derek Alan Gordon, attended 1976-1979.
Thank you

- I am troubled of the behavior of the staff at this school particularly (...) because he joked when my daughter tried to explain to him that I had no phone nor car due to me being handicap. He laughed and said that I needed to call a cab or something and that he didn't believe that anyone didn't have a phone. Maybe my situation of me being poor is somewhat funny to him but I am offended and this guy threatened my 15yr old daughter that he'd take her to the detention center for being out of dress code.This may sound like a mother defending her troubled daughter but it isn't. My daughter has an A average and has had this since kindergarten and not once ever had an referral either. So when she came home crying about what they had done you betcha I was upset because she missed a whole day of school and (...) needs to be fired for his statements and I for one am going to take this matter up with the school board. These (...) at this school need to be evaluated and they have just stepped on the wrong child this time around. I WILL DO EVERYTHING WITHIN THE LAW AND MY VOICE WILL BE HEARD UNTIL THE SCHOOL BOARD TAKES ACTION ON WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CHILD.
