I'm an upcoming Senior at Fort Lauderdale High and I would say they have a wide range of academic courses that can be taken and there is great support for which ever path you choose. The school has amazing school spirt as there is always an event which feels like every week. As well as a handful of great teachers that are passionate about what they are teaching and actually care for their students futures.
