The Falcons were honored for their on-field success last season after finishing 6-4 and tied for third in District 13-7A.
Forest Hill had the best record of all West Palm Beach-based high school football teams in 2015, and was crowned the “Mythical City Champion.”
The school received a trophy, along with a $500 contribution to its athletic budget.
Also receiving $500 at last week’s event were Cardinal Newman and The King’s Academy. Representatives from Palm Beach Lakes and Palm Beach Central were unable to attend.
