This school needs a serious change in directions. They care more about sports, land purchases, and AP classes than giving every child the education they need. The last time I checked they weren't meeting the no child left behind requirements. The district also needs to be more open with information

My daughter will graduate from FHS in 2007. She has had great teachers and a wonderful academic experience overall.
