We presently have 2 children at FHS, a sophmore and a senior. This is the first year for both of them at FHS. Previously, they were at St. Francis, but economics forced us to make changes. My husband and I, as well as the girls view FHS as a very good school. Good curriculum, over all academics

I am in 11th grade here at FHS and i think it is one of the best schools around. I love all my teachers and some of them have really made a positive impact on my life. All the teachers and staff are just so eager to make our high school experience something that we will always remember. Despite the

Also, the friends i made here are friends i will remember for the rest of my lives. The great thing about this school is that it places importance to both sports and academics. One really smart is valued just as one who is really good at sports, as opposed to some other some high schools who place one of higher importance than the other. Read less

Yeah, I agree this is a good school with good teachers but not the councelors. Councelling needs patience and knowledge about the courses the kid can take for a better future and they can suggest without asking, since many parents are confused about processes and principles.
