Fairfax Highschool is a very welcoming environment for new students. It may seem hard to fit in, but everyone welcomes you with open arms and are always ready to engage with new students. One very cool part of Fairfax is the alumni association and the involvement of the alumni. There are so many alumnis who are apart of the students lives.

I had a decent time at this school. Some of the teachers were unqualified to be teaching the subject they were teaching. However, I still had some really good teachers as well. It's very hit or miss with this school. The faculty is great for the most part.
