The teachers are all there to help you and really care about your success. The only downside is the district is really bad with money and that leads to many issues. Also, there is a lack of AP classes, but it does alright for a small school by having CE classes.

It's an okay school, very average. Some teachers there are very good and go above and beyond, others are doing the minimum.

FHS is in a small town where someone wouldn't expect any danger to happen at the school. That doesn't stop FHS from still instructing lock down drills, drug dog searches, locked doors at all times and visitor sign in sheets. When I am sitting in class, I feel safer at school than I do in my car. FHS has no need for things like metal detectors or Staff ID requirements because the school is so small that everybody knows everybody and can see threats easily.
