Falls City Public Schools is proud to announce that our FCHS Band and Instrumental Director, Ms. Ally Phillips, have received two awards from Nebraska's state instrumental music association. The award ceremony and banquet was held on Friday, March 7th, 2026. The Falls City High School Band has earned their second academic excellence award in a row, which was achieved by all of the band members having a combined average GPA of 3.5 or higher. Falls City's 6-12 Instrumental Director, Ms. Ally Phillips, also received the Jack R. Snider Outstanding Young Band Director award. Ms. Phillips was nominated for this award with the help of music colleagues, administrators, teachers, parents, and students who spoke highly of her dedication to the music program at Falls City. Many of the nominations highlighted her support of the band program that helped them earn their first state superior rating in 40 years at the NSBA State Marching Contest held in Lincoln, NE. The FCHS band has only received one other state superior in the program's history for the field marching competition. Nominators also wrote positively about her connection with students and her dedication to musical excellence. Ms. Phillips would like to thank her nominators (HS student nominators are pictured below), administrators, colleagues, band parents, band alumni, community supporters, and all of her students she works with each day. "I am extremely grateful to work with our Falls City students every day," said Phillips. "It's an honor to help them grow as people and to help them learn music. Every day I get to laugh and make music with people I care about. I love what I do! Thank you for allowing me to be your teacher!" Ms. Phillips is also pictured with the current 2025-2026 HS Band members.

FFA News

February was a busy month for FFA members. Tuesday February 24, the Falls City FFA Chapter attended the second session of district CDE’s. Members competed in four different competitions. In Livestock Management, members Tessa Gossman, Knox Davis, Elin Vonderschmidt, Leah Goff, and Caroline Powell all competed. In Floriculture, members Kaydence Rego, Jessica Sells, Addison Daniels, and Bristol Titus all earned red ribbons. In Meats judging, members Braxtyn Bauman earned a white ribbon, Haiden Dorste and Thomas Godemann earned red ribbons, Bowdy Jones, Ethan Morris, and Elijah Leyden earned blue ribbons, and Brock Neidfeldt received purple. The team of Bowdy, Ethan, and Elijah, and Brock qualified for the state competition. In Farm Business Management, Breean, Kaydence, and Malori earned blue ribbons, and Brock earned a purple. All four members all qualified for state as well. After the conclusion of the competitions, the chapter went to Pizza Hut for a meal.

Monday February 25th through Friday the 29th, was national FFA week. The Falls City FFA Chapter celebrated through school dress up days and lunch activities. Monday the dress up theme was “Red, White, and Blue”. Students were able to play yard games during lunch and earn prizes by doing so. Tuesday the theme was “Animal Print” and the chapter had District CDE’s so there was no lunch activity. Wednesday the officers arrived at the school early to cook a breakfast for FFA members, and all staff at Falls City High School. The officers then gratefully accepted a check from F&M Bank. The theme Wednesday was “Gold & Blue” in honor of FFA colors. The lunch activity was relay races. Thursday the dress up theme was “Camo” and students participated in basketball shooting games at lunch. Friday was the annual “Drive Your Tractor to School Day”. Members drove their tractors to school together, and took a picture once they arrived at the school. The theme was “Farmer/Overall Day” and at lunch Mrs. Eickhoff brought her baby goats for students to hold and pet, and the officers put together pedal tractor races. We are looking forward to competing at the State FFA Convention March 25th - 27th.
