[edit] History
FCMS was founded in 1995 under principal Timothy D. Rockafellow. The first year consisted of only 7th grade students and the building was a trailer in the rear of Forcey Christian Elementary School's building.
In 1996 the school expanded to 7th and 8th grade with 55 students enrolled. The building moved to Calverton Baptist Church's building facility.
In 1997, the school grew to 60 students total, and the first yearbook was published and distributed in the Spring of 1997. In 1998 the student council was disbanded. In 2003, the school expanded its facilities to include a computer lab with 19 workstations. In 2004, the school expanded to include 6th graders.
[edit] Sports
The boys and girls basketball teams were formed in 1996. The original boys' coach was Jeremy Marsh, and the girls' was Jamal Woodson. After much disparaging but friendly talk about game records on the girls' part directed at the boys' team, the first annual Boys vs. Girls game was held at the end of the season. The boys' team was victorious by a generous margin and the event was discontinued.and in 2005-2006 season they went undefeated with new coach Dan FitzGerald 12-0 and in the next season lost the championship in the last seconds and the next year coach Dan FitzGerald had his most wins in a season going 13-5 and retired the next year.then coach Dan started the baseball program and won a championship after the second year of forcey baseball.
[edit] Extracurricular activities
