The academics are really good. Counselors are really helpful and make sure that your college ready. The campus itself is a little outdated but that's the charm of the school being over 100 years old. Overall it's a welcoming place to learn and have fun.

Some of my best experiences at Fresno High School has been from the marching band. I have met so many amazing people of all grade levels and truly developed skills like dedication and resilience. I'll never forget the football games where the student section is having such an incredible time as the band is playing something in the stands or on the field. Fresno High School has given me opportunities to inspire others even if I don't formally know them. The same can be said for me where I have seen some of the most incredible and confident people representing their clubs or their interests. Academically, all my teachers have done their best to provide me and my peers with the best education possible. They not only check in with us but put us in real life experiences to prepare us for our future. Fresno High School has been exactly the challenge I needed to advance and grow as an individual, student, friend, and overall functioning member of todays ever-growing society.

Beautiful Campus!... Mixture of old buildings and New. For the shear volume of students enrolled it runs rather smoothly. Teachers are willing to go the extra mile to help students that are unsteady. As well as clearing the way for students who are ready to excel! Security strives to be on top of ea...
