Falls Church High School 75th Anniversary

06/12/2026

Hello Jaguar Alums and Friends! Today I continued my slow but steady transfers of priceless Jaguar memorabilia I have joyfully received over the past 12 years… from all of you!! Now that The Renovation is coming to conclusion I have total confidence the Director of Student Activities (Greg Weisbecker) and his wonderful staff can house and protect these treasures that Alums have given to me…! Today I dropped off two volumes of Vintage FCHS football programs from 1951 thru early ‘80s!! Four dozen of these priceless unique documents… 😊👍
Today fellow alum Belinda Kim ‘07 (ADSA and coach) and Greg received these treasures from me (Class of 1977 and still coaching track and field plus CC). ADSA Ryan Healy ‘01 was not present but rounds out a robust Alumni presence at this crucial Department! 😉Hopefully and surely a FCHS Collection will blossom with these Alums leading the effort! I will continue to pass on all cool items especially since my 50th is coming next year!! Go Jaguars! Truly, Craig’77😊🙏👍

Hi All!! I ran into Bill Stevenson ‘85 at the farmer’s market in Falls Church yesterday! He was one of my first class of shotputters who dealt with me as a very green straight from Tech coach!!! Thankfully he still likes me…😉👍🙏
BTW- I only coached shot for two years as I awaited my career job at DIA. I would then come immediately back after retirement (Jan ‘15) for Spring 2015 Season! I have been there ever since including assistant Cross country coaching along with Winter and Spring Track (and discus in Spring only)! PTL!
Go Jags!!!

…The Jaguar Rock has been relocated to the front of the school! I saw a painted x on the lawn a few days ago and today it landed from the Weber Stadium site (approx 1990s??)! Go Jags! Truly, Craig ‘77😊
