FHS All-Star Committee hosts Anchors of Hope
Farragut High School’s Leadership 3 class members are not only learning leadership skills, they are paying it forward. The All-Star Committee, consisting of students from that leadership class — Noah Haag, Moses Burnette, Ella Schlomer and Alexa Shrader — organized an activity, the 2nd Annual Anchors of Hope event, in FHS gymnasium Friday afternoon, Dec.12, to give the school’s special education students an opportunity to play basketball. “This event is about the student body making connections with students who are part of our special education program,” Schlomer said. “It allows for all of the students to shine in their own unique way.” “Their joy, determination and teamwork inspire all of us,” Burnette said. “These events aren’t about winning; they’re about celebrating every student.” “The goal for this event is to encourage and love on our special education classmates,” Haag said. “We hope it increases the spirit of community within our school, too.” “Our student body is very invested in our special ed students, so planning an event where we all get to come together to celebrate them individually has been really fun,” Shrader said. Haag said the event consists of three stations for warm-ups.

The Town of Farragut was recognized for its traffic management efforts during the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting Thursday, Dec. 11. Houston Daugherty, president and CEO of Cannon & Cannon Inc., announced the town received the Innovation Award in August from the Tennessee Municipal League. “We are very honored to have partnered with the town’s Engineering Department, bringing an advanced traffic management system to town,” he said. Daugherty said the system has an estimated savings of more than $4 million annually in economic value from reduced driver delay and includes 12 miles of fiber that can be used not only for signals but also for future communications. “All 26 signals now are connected to a central management system,” he said. “So, the town has taken a big first step toward really automatic traffic control as it’s moving into the future. “Given all the population that’s moving here, it’s going to become more and more necessary,” Daugherty said. The system also features radar detection at 23 intersections, which he said is more reliable than loop detection. “It’s not affected by fog or rain or broken loops,” Daugherty said.
