Successful completion of the Senior Portfolio and Interview are non-credit requirements for graduation.
2. The Class of 2009 and subsequent classes are required to have one credit in Fine Arts and three credits in Science for graduation.
3. Many other requirements are established when a student selects a major area, college or university or special training school to attend. These requirements are the responsibility of the student and parents and must be reported to the FHS principal and counselor.
Due to the special abilities of many individual students, the principal has the authority to develop, with the cooperation of the student, his/her parents, and the counselor, any individual program that will meet his/her goals, needs, and interests. This program, upon the approval of principal and parents, will then meet the graduation requirements provided state law is not violated.
